Teeth spacing is a dental anomaly characterized by increased interdental spaces and lack of contact points between teeth. It's an excess of available space, resulting in gaps
between the teeth. This generally occurs when the teeth are smaller than the
available space or missing/impacted teeth, or protrude teeth, or abnormal gum
tissue attachments can also cause spacing.
Tooth spacing
Causes of Spacing
It's can be for multiple factor- Developmental, Genetic cause & Physiological cause.
Developmental & Genetic cause:
Spacing in primary or Milk tooth: It's commonly seen in primary tooth. No need to worry for this, maximum time it closes when permanent teeth start to appear.
Ugly Duckling Stage: This is also most common developmental spacing in front tooth which seen at the age of 7-11 years. When permanent Canine tooth starts erupting that causes spacing in front tooth, after complete eruption of Canine the space is closed.
Genetic: By family
Midline Diastema: It also can be caused by an over sized labial frenum. The labial frenum is the piece of tissue that normally extends from the inside of your upper lip to the gum just above your two upper front teeth. In some situations, the labial frenum continues to grow and passes between the two front teeth, causes spacing in between central incisor tooth.
Microdontia & big jaw size: This is not commonly seen. Microdontia means smaller size tooth. This generally occurs when the teeth are smaller than the available space causes spacing.
Missing, Impacted, Supernumerary, Retained milk tooth can also cause spacing.
Physiological cause:
Oral Bad habits: Thumb sucking, Mouth breathing, Tongue thrusting , nail or pencil biting can cause spacing of tooth. later in my other blog i will discuss about details in Oral bad habits.
Periodontitis: If spacing starts in adulthood then common cause is periodontitis. It causes because of poor oral hygiene, diabetic etc. resulting gum problem, bone loss, loss of tooth.
Cyst & Tumor: Cyst is commonly asymptomatic swelling, it can cause tooth spacing.
