Spaces between teeth — dentists call them diastemas — are common and very treatable. Clear aligners close gaps by drawing neighbouring teeth evenly together, so the space closes without crowding anything else.
Not sure which treatment fits your case? Book a visit — we will examine, explain, and plan it with you.
Gaps come from tooth size mismatches, a low frenum, missing teeth, or habits like tongue thrusting. Finding the cause matters — it decides whether aligners alone will hold the result.
Aligners push teeth together while keeping roots parallel, which is what keeps the gum papilla healthy as the space shuts. Attachments add precision where needed.
A single small gap can close in 3–6 months. Multiple or larger spaces typically need 8–18 months, sometimes with slight reshaping for a perfect finish.
Once closed, bonding or contouring can perfect tooth shapes if they are slightly narrow. We plan this from day one so the end result looks natural, not just straight.
Many smiles have both — spaces here, crowding there. Aligners handle both at once, redistributing space across the whole arch instead of treating teeth in isolation.
Gaps often sit front and centre — which is exactly why clear trays appeal. Straighten without a mouth full of metal during the process.
Gaps love to reopen. Your retainer is non-negotiable: wear it as prescribed to lock the closed spacing in place for the long run.
Our dentists combine modern diagnostics with gentle, patient-first care at every visit.
