This so-called slit may have been caused during the replacement of the primary teeth with the permanent teeth, but there are other reasons. Often the cause is genetic, for example when children get their father’s teeth but the jawbone of their mother, or vice versa. The teeth may then be too small for the dental arch in which they are located. A diastema can also occur when you are used to push your tongue towards the teeth when swallowing food.
Depending on the cause of the slit, a treatment plan will be made. The dentist will discuss this with you. The extra space is usually filled with composite to make the teeth appear wider and the gap will be narrowed to a distance that is acceptable to you.
