Gaps & Spacing Treatment in Closter, NJ
Spacing is the opposite of crowding — gaps appear between teeth, most commonly between the upper front teeth. Some people love a small gap; others want it closed. Either way, spacing can affect your bite and gum health.
Before
AfterWhat causes gaps between teeth?
Spacing can come from teeth that are small relative to the jaw, missing teeth, an oversized labial frenum (the tissue above the front teeth), or a tongue-thrusting habit that pushes the teeth apart over time.
Why treat spacing?
Gaps can trap food and stress the gums, and tongue-driven spacing tends to get worse without treatment. Closing the spaces restores an even, healthy bite and a confident smile.
How we close gaps
Invisalign is especially efficient at closing spaces, and braces work well too. Dr. Vaysman also addresses the underlying cause — such as a tongue habit — so the result stays stable. See spacing corrections in our before-and-after results.
