Orthodontic Treatment of Diastema
Spacing between anterior teeth can arise from a variety of etiological factors, including heredity, iatrogenic issues, and periodontal problems. This condition frequently prompts patients to seek treatment for aesthetic complaints. Within the scope of this presentation, the ideal tooth-jaw size harmony, in which cases it would be appropriate to close the spacing with orthodontic treatment, and the situations in which the spaces should be arranged for restoration will be discussed. Furthermore, the retention protocol specific for diastema cases will be discussed as it impacts the long-term stability of the orthodontic outcome.
