Split Tooth Treatment (Diastema)

It is a treatment method applied to correct dental aesthetic problems such as gaps between teeth or irregular placement of teeth.

Split Tooth Treatment Methods

We offer our patients various options for split tooth treatment. After examining the patient and evaluating his condition, we determine the most appropriate treatment option.

Now we can talk about the discrete dental treatment options that we commonly use.

Fixed Braces (braces)

Orthodontic treatment (braces, wires, etc.) method consists of small brackets and wires that are glued to the teeth. Brackets help hold the wires on the teeth and keep the teeth aligned. Brackets can be made of metal, ceramic or transparent materials.

Transparent Plaques

Clear aligners or aligners are specially produced transparent plastic plates that align and help straighten the teeth. We make personalized designs. It is worn for a certain period of time, and the ease of insertion and removal is an aesthetic preference for patients.

Lingual Brackets

Since we place it on the inner surface of the teeth, it is not visible from the outside. It is an aesthetic option. It requires some time of adaptation depending on the language.

veneers

They are thin porcelain or composite veneers that we place on the front surface of the teeth. It is the process of correcting the appearance of teeth with porcelain laminate veneers or bonded aesthetic materials. We use it to improve the appearance of split teeth treatment. However, this method provides only cosmetic correction. It may not be very effective when there are significant alignment problems in the teeth.

Treatment options are always patient-specific and based on our evaluation and recommendations. To determine the best treatment option for our patient, we evaluate his condition and decide together.

We offer the most appropriate treatment alternative to the patient, taking into account his needs and preferences.

There are other treatment options for split teeth treatment.

Dental Contents (Interproximal Recontouring): We may slightly reshape the teeth to reduce or eliminate small gaps between the patient's teeth. We can choose this method as an option for correcting small discrepancies.

Device Corrections with Braces (Functional Appliances): In some cases of separated teeth, we may need to correct the jaw and jaw position as well as the dental tissue.

Functional appliances help the jaws to be positioned correctly and move harmoniously.

Jaw Surgery: In some patients, we may need to surgically correct separated teeth. We prefer jaw surgery to correct advanced discrete teeth problems caused by missing teeth or abnormal jaw structure.

There are also restorations made to replace missing teeth, such as dental implants or bridges.

These options are the treatment alternatives we apply depending on the patient's split tooth condition and personal needs.

Tooth Separation Treatment

Tooth separation has largely the same meaning as separated teeth. These are the gaps between the teeth or the irregular alignment of the teeth, which are usually seen in the front teeth and can be a source of aesthetic concern.

Common Causes of Teeth Separation

Family history may be effective in the formation of tooth separation. It is possible that if a family member has tooth separation, it will also be genetically seen in other family members.

Jaw structure disorders can prevent the teeth from aligning properly. If the patient's lower jaw is larger or smaller, it negatively affects the proper placement of the teeth.

Failure of jaw bones to develop properly during childhood and inadequate jaw development may be among the reasons for tooth separation.

Harmful habits such as thumb sucking and nail biting can cause tooth separation by pushing or pulling the teeth.

Disorders in the normal eruption process of teeth may cause tooth separation. Obstacles formed in places where teeth should erupt prevent proper tooth placement.

These factors may be the cause of tooth separation. However, the exact causes of tooth separation are generally complex and personal.

To summarize, some people's jaw structure and tooth sizes may cause gaps to form between the teeth. The reason for split teeth may be that the teeth do not cover enough space on the jawbone.

Mismatched sizes of teeth or teeth being smaller than normal can lead to split teeth. Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to move, resulting in a split tooth.

Gum diseases can result in receding or weakening of the gums. In this case, gaps may occur between the teeth.

The treatment for tooth separation is generally performed by a dentist or orthodontist.

Jointing of Split Teeth at Home

Expert help is recommended for those who have split teeth problems. If you have disturbingly spaced teeth, you can apply to professional dental clinics for dental treatment and benefit from current dental treatment methods.

Adverse Effects Requiring Split Dental Treatment

A split tooth may cause patients to think that their teeth are irregular or with gaps, causing aesthetic problems. A split tooth can even negatively affect a person's smile and reduce their self-confidence.

Split tooth treatment not only corrects an aesthetic problem, but is also important for dental health.

Separated teeth can make it difficult to clean teeth properly and less susceptible to problems such as gum disease. Additionally, improperly aligned teeth can affect chewing function and speaking ability.

When the spaces between teeth become a place for food debris and bacteria to accumulate, it can lead to gum disease and other gum problems.

A split tooth can prevent the teeth from closing properly, making it difficult to chew food effectively. Inadequate chewing negatively affects digestion and prevents the food from being fully digested.

Irregular alignment of teeth can prevent the tongue from moving properly, causing problems with speech. Often some sounds, such as 's', cannot be pronounced correctly.

Improper alignment of teeth creates chewing problems, making it difficult to chew food effectively and negatively affecting oral health.

In short, with split dental treatment, a more aesthetic smile is achieved by aligning and straightening the teeth, as well as correcting irregular or spaced teeth.

After Split Tooth Treatment

After the first wearing of braces or clear aligners, discomfort such as pain, sensitivity and difficulty eating may occur. This is usually temporary and occurs as the body adapts to the treatment. We recommend our patient how to relax and relaxation methods at this stage.

Split tooth post-treatment care is also important as it can affect the success of the treatment process. Proper use and care of braces or clear aligners is necessary.

Paying attention to dental hygiene, regular check-ups and making necessary adjustments positively affect the treatment outcome.

We inform our patients about split tooth post-treatment care tips and regular check-ups.

Split dental treatment is important for healthy teeth in the long term. Properly aligned teeth are more resistant to decay and gum disease.

Split teeth treatment can also help stabilize the jaw structure and improve chewing function.

Obtaining an aesthetic smile can also provide psychological benefits such as increasing self-confidence and feeling more comfortable in social relationships.

When it comes to split tooth treatment, whether braces or clear aligners are better is constantly on the minds of our patients. According to us dentists, which option is better depends on the patient's personal preferences and the condition of the teeth.

As a dentist, we can decide which treatment method will be more suitable for our patient after the examination.

While braces may be more effective in complex cases and extremely spaced teeth, clear aligners can provide much better results in milder cases.

Temporary speech difficulties in some people during split dental treatment are the result of the patient's teeth and the process of getting used to the treatment.

Taking care to speak slowly and clearly and constant practice can help improve speaking skills again.

Split Tooth Treatment Process

Depending on its complexity, the process may differ for each patient. The treatment method may also vary depending on the condition of the teeth and individual preferences. A comprehensive interview with our patient helps us determine the most appropriate treatment option.

During the split dental treatment process, it is necessary to go to the dentist for regular check-ups, follow the instructions and pay attention to dental hygiene to achieve a successful result.

Anterior Split Tooth Treatment

It is a treatment method we generally apply to close the gap in the front teeth for aesthetic purposes.

We perform this treatment method professionally and offer different alternatives depending on the patient's tooth structure.

Methods We Use for Front Split Teeth Treatment

Porcelain Laminate Veneers: These are thin porcelain veneers that we specially prepare. With these veneers that we attach to the front surface of the teeth, we aesthetically correct the appearance of split front teeth.

We may wear the teeth slightly, it may take several sessions to place the veneers correctly.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that we use to replace missing front teeth. If the anterior split space is the result of a missing tooth or teeth, we use implants. We place the implants in the jawbone and attach an aesthetically compatible dental crown on them.

In some cases, we prefer orthodontic treatment (braces, wires) for front split tooth treatment. We aim to close the anterior split space by moving the teeth.

Front split tooth treatment time may vary depending on the patient's tooth structure and the size of the split space. It may be different for each patient. To achieve the best results, we examine and interview the patient and inform them. We evaluate appropriate treatment options and recommend the most effective one.

Things to Consider After Split Tooth Treatment

Brush your teeth regularly. Maintain your oral hygiene by using dental floss and mouth rinses or mouthwash. This way, you can prevent gum diseases and keep your teeth healthy.

By avoiding hard or sticky foods while wearing braces, you will help prevent the wires from becoming damaged or dislodged.

When using clear aligners, you may need to remove the aligners before eating. We give our patients detailed instructions on nutrition.

Those who prefer retention appliances or fixed retention wires will help achieve the results obtained after treatment by following the instructions and using them regularly.

It is important that we see our patient for regular check-ups after treatment. During check-ups, we need to check whether the teeth continue to be in healthy alignment and the treatment has been completed successfully.

During the treatment process, our patients may experience pain, tenderness or discomfort. However, in case of extreme pain or any other problem, we ask that you contact us immediately.

Smoking and consuming alcohol negatively affect the health of teeth and gums. After treatment, we want our patients to stop smoking or consuming alcohol. This supports teeth and general health.

Under all circumstances, we expect our patient to comply with the dentist's instructions and recommendations. Proper care after split dental treatment and regular visits to the dentist help maintain the success of the treatment and the health of the teeth.

Split Tooth Treatment Duration

It varies depending on the complexity of the treatment, the condition of the teeth, and the patient's preferences. Generally, split tooth treatment can last between 6 months and 2 years. In some cases, this period may even take longer.

As a result of our examinations and examinations, we tell our patient the estimated duration of the treatment. It is important for them to come for regular check-ups throughout the treatment process. During check-ups, we check whether the teeth are properly aligned and the treatment is progressing as planned.

We give our patients more specific information about the duration of discrete dental treatment, because each patient's situation differs.

Patience and regular follow-up will help the split tooth treatment to be successful.

Split Tooth Treatment Prices

It varies depending on the content of the treatment, the method used and the location where the treatment is applied. It is difficult to give an exact price. In general, the cost that may occur for split dental treatment depends on the competence and experience of the dentist, the treatment methods and materials used, the duration of the treatment and the number of treatment sessions, and whether the treatment will be performed using orthodontic appliances, filling materials or plates or more invasive methods.
