There can be many causes of diastema. Smaller than average teeth and\/or a larger than average jaw\u00a0can lead to\u00a0significant spacing between the teeth. Growth quirks happen regularly. For some, the tissue between their teeth and gums (what orthodontists call the labial fraenum) can be a little\u00a0too generous in size.\u00a0Research also shows that both tooth sizes and jaw sizes are\u00a0hereditary! \u202f\u00a0<\/p><p>Sometimes, spaces between teeth can be a warning sign too. Gum disease is a serious\u00a0non-genetic\u00a0cause of\u00a0tooth spacing; the gaps can signal that the disease\u00a0has advanced. Inflammation in the gum and bone around the teeth can loosen your teeth and cause gaps.\u00a0As most serious and chronic gum disease (periodontitis) is relatively painless,\u00a0it may progress\u00a0without you knowing about it. This emphasises the need for regular check-ups with your family dentist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29a0dc9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29a0dc9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do gaps between teeth get bigger with age? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11cd1cee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"11cd1cee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Your teeth are constantly shifting and growing, and many people find that their teeth will continue to shift throughout their life.
