Everything You Need to Know About Gapped Teeth

Are gaps between front or side teeth making you reluctant to fully smile? This guide covers the symptoms, causes and solutions available to correct wide spacing between teeth for improved confidence and function.

Defining Gapped Teeth

Noticeable spaces between teeth occur when there is inadequate width relative to jaw size for all permanent teeth to fill with uniform contact and support. Mild gapping may involve openings between select teeth. More significant spacing can separate all teeth in generalized arches.

Symptoms of Gapped Teeth

  • Gaping intervals separating certain individual teeth or multiple teeth
  • “Missing tooth” appearance with dark embrasures between teeth
  • Notable spaces between most front upper and/or lower teeth
  • Poor biting alignment causing chronic discomfort or strain
  • Speech impediment requiring therapy to correct pronunciation
  • Shifting “drift” of teeth over time closing or widening gaps unpredictably

Poorly aligned “spaced out” teeth increase susceptibility to

  • Advanced tooth decay and excessive plaque build-up
  • Chipped or fractured teeth more vulnerable at thin incisal edges
  • Rotations or crossbite getting worse due to eruption pattern disruption
  • Impeded cleaning allowing periodontal and gum disease

Causes of Gapped Teeth

  • Genetic

    Inherited larger teeth dimensions associated with certain ethnic groups fail to mesh correctly within average size jaw dimensions

  • Developmental

    Physical childhood mouth breathing patterns restrict oral cavity maturation, limiting arch space.

  • Mechanical

    Missing teeth or small teeth extracted open areas exceeding replacement options.

    Proliferation of the periodontal ligament fibres over decades can additionally force spacing between aging teeth leading to a poor fit.
