The gap between the front teeth is normal.
When children change their teeth, there are gaps in the front teeth, because the lateral incisors and fangs on both sides of the front teeth have not yet erupted, and the number of teeth is relatively small relative to the bone mass. The lateral displacement of the front teeth leads to the gap between the front teeth. When the child is 7- 1 1 year old, the gap disappears naturally after the lateral incisors on both sides of the child erupt.
Extra teeth need to be pulled out.
When a few children change their teeth, there are gaps in their front teeth because there are redundant teeth between the two front teeth, which affects the arrangement of teeth and leads to gaps. This can be confirmed by X-ray examination, and the extra teeth can be removed to close the gap.
The labial frenum is too long to be treated.
If the labial frenum is too long, it will enter between the central incisors, resulting in the generation of incisor gap, and the gap will not close by itself. This situation requires medication, and the frenulum can only be shortened by surgery, and then the incisor space can be closed by orthodontic method.
Orthodontic treatment
If the child's front teeth still have gaps at the age of 12- 13 after all the teeth are replaced, then it is necessary to go to a regular medical institution for corrective treatment. There are many reasons that may lead to a large gap between children's front teeth, depending on the doctor's examination results.
