Gaps can be seen between the teeth due to reasons such as congenital teeth being small and the jawbone being large or not replacing the extracted tooth. Sometimes congenital tooth deficiency prepares a ground for split teeth. Different methods can be used for the treatment of split teeth in . Since the oral structure of each patient is different, the most appropriate treatment option will be determined after the evaluation of the case by the physician. Sometimes orthodontic treatment can be perfectly corrected with orthodontic treatment, while sometimes dental aesthetics applications can be used to treat the dislocated teeth. For a long-lasting aesthetic appearance, the surface properties of the teeth, their color, and their harmony with the face are evaluated and the treatment method that will provide the best smile aesthetics for the patient is decided.

2) Closing the Separated Teeth with Bonding Method

Bonding, which we can call a kind of filling applied in tooth color, is a short-term and fast treatment option for the treatment of split teeth. Anesthesia is usually not required for this procedure. The important thing is to close the gap in proportion to the face and other teeth without overgrowing the volume of a tooth. The treatment is decided in line with the experience of the physician and the expectations of the patient. When the application is started, the tooth surface is cleaned and after the necessary steps for the application, the dough-shaped composite material is carefully placed in the cavity area. The contour of the exit from the gum should be considered here. Maximum care must be taken to ensure that the teeth are symmetrical with each other and that there are no food deposits in the area where the gum and the application meet. After the gap is closed with this material, the polishing process is started carefully and the surface gloss should be made as bright as the tooth enamel. Otherwise, coloration will occur over time with external factors such as tea, coffee, cigarettes. When this discoloration occurs, it can be removed with a simple polishing process.

The biggest disadvantage of the bonding method in the treatment of split teeth is that its surface properties are not as good as porcelain dental veneers. As mentioned above, factors such as tea, coffee and cigarettes cause discoloration on the surface of the composite material. However, it is a highly preferred treatment method due to its short application time and affordable cost.

Does every dentist perform bonding application?

You can get satisfactory results when dentists who have been trained and experienced in this field take time and work carefully. However, anterior dental treatment requires careful work and experience. It is necessary to follow all the rules of the material used and to be able to predict how things will look in the mouth as a result of the treatment. Especially physicians who work on this subject and have increased their knowledge and experience can easily perform the application.

3) Closure of Separated Teeth with Laminate Veneers

Porcelain laminate veneer applications, whose surface properties are almost equivalent to the enamel layer, are one of the methods used to cover split teeth. Laminate dental treatment, which is generally applied for broken, curved, disproportionate, discolored teeth, also gives excellent results in the treatment of split teeth. Thanks to the advanced bonding techniques and material properties in aesthetic dentistry, porcelain lamina veneers, which are successfully applied thanks to the development of bonding techniques and material properties, are completed in a period of about a week in split tooth applications. In porcelain lamina application, not only the gap skin of the works is not closed, but also problems such as color and shape are eliminated.

Although it takes longer than intermittent tooth closure treatment with bonding, it does not take months like intermittent tooth closure with orthodontics.
