What to do if there is a gap between the child's front teeth

We all know that the teeth that children start to grow from a young age are deciduous teeth, which need to undergo a tooth replacement before they can finally grow. Therefore, the gap between the teeth needs to be considered according to different situations, because the dental problems of different age groups are also different. There are many problems with deciduous teeth, and gaps between teeth are one of them. Next we will introduce to you in detail the solution to the gap in the middle of children's front teeth.

There are generally two types of deciduous teeth: one is the gap type, which means there are gaps between teeth, and the gaps tend to increase with age; the other is the gapless type, where the teeth are closely arranged without gaps. Gap-filled deciduous dentition is often good for tooth replacement, because the permanent teeth replaced are larger than the original deciduous teeth in the front teeth area, so there is enough space after the teeth are replaced and it is easy to arrange them neatly; but for gapless deciduous dentition, they are often not so lucky. In addition, there are some pathological conditions that cause the tooth gap to be too large, such as the upper lip frenulum is too low, there are extra teeth between the front teeth, etc. These situations are relatively rare. If you feel something is abnormal, you may wish to go to the oral department of the children's hospital for a detailed examination by the doctor.

It is normal to have a gap between the front teeth. As the child grows up, the gap will close by itself and there is no need for any corrective surgery. If the child's teeth have all been replaced, it can be solved through traditional orthodontic treatment. At the same time, I would like to remind you that what is most needed in orthodontic treatment is persistence, because the treatment is long, and there is also social misconception that people always hear that it takes 1 or 2 years to complete the treatment.

The above contents are about the solution to the gap between children's front teeth. If the child is relatively young, the gap between the deciduous teeth will slowly grow out. If it is a permanent tooth, it can be corrected at an appropriate age. However, orthodontic treatment is a rather troublesome matter, so you must go to a regular hospital for treatment.
