Understanding teeth spacing
Spacing teeth, also known as diastema, refers to noticeable gaps between teeth. This can happen due to natural spacing or improper eruption of adult teeth.
Causes:
Small or missing teeth, or irregular jaw structure
An oversized labial frenum affecting tooth position
Habits like thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, or teeth grinding
Problems caused by teeth spacing
If left untreated, spacing teeth can lead to several oral health and functional issues, such as:
-
Higher risk of gum disease
-
Cavities and tooth decay
-
Potential tooth loss
-
Uneven wear on teeth and jaw pain
-
Weakening of the jawbone over time
-
Difficulty chewing food or speaking clearly
-
Trouble fully closing the mouth
-
Long-term effects on overall nutrition

Will I need a retainer after fixing spacing with Caspersmile aligners?
Yes. Once your treatment is complete, a teeth straightening retainer is essential to maintain results. Your orthodontist will provide a custom retainer to keep your newly aligned smile intact.

How long does it take to see results with Caspersmile aligners?
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the spacing, but many patients notice improvements in as little as 6 months. Some cases may take longer for full results.
