What causes the incisors to become larger?
VerifiedDedicated to your well-being.
The main reasons for incisor gap widening include bad habits, periodontal disease, bite problems, etc.
1, bad habits
long-term toothpick picking and other bad habits, may stimulate the gums, damage the gum tissue, over time leading to teeth widening. Often use toothpicks to operate excessively in the teeth, easy to make the gums gradually retreat.
2, periodontal disease
When the gums are infected by bacteria, causing periodontitis and other diseases, it will lead to gingival recession, alveolar bone absorption, and then the teeth lose support, loose displacement, causing the incisors gap to become larger. This is because the destruction of periodontal tissue, can no longer firmly fix the teeth in the original position.
3. Bite problem
The teeth are not normal, such as deep overlap of anterior teeth, which may produce abnormal force on the teeth during long-term chewing, resulting in displacement of the incisors and gaps. This abnormal bite force will continue to exert influence on the teeth and change their position.
When it is found that the gap between the incisors has become larger, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time for a comprehensive oral examination and diagnosis in order to take appropriate treatment measures to improve the situation.
