Gaps & Spaces
Gaps & Spaces
Spaces between teeth are referred to diastemas or gaps between teeth. These spaces can occur if the teeth are proportionately less wide than ideal making them appear thinner. These spaces can make these areas appear darker. A wide dental arch, smaller teeth and missing teeth are other reasons for spaces occurring. When teeth are not contacting properly, the gum tissue between them can recess and cause what is referred to as a ‘Black Triangle”
All of the cases below were treated with No Attachments* and No IPR**. With PEAK Smiles experienced dentists, we can assist you in achieving the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
*Attachments are tooth-coloured buttons on the front of teeth.
**IPR is Interproximal Reduction, enamel removal or reshaping between teeth.
***In the ClinCheck® Movies below, the blue indicators are pressure points or indentations built into the Invisalign® aligners.
