Gaps between adult front teeth often close by themselves as more adult teeth come through. Talk to your oral health professional or orthodontist about the need for treatment for gapped teeth.

Do tooth gaps go away?

In children, gaps may disappear once their permanent teeth grow in. Some gaps are small and barely noticeable, whereas other gaps are larger and a cosmetic issue for some people. If you don't like the way the gap looks, there are ways to close it or reduce its size.

How long does a tooth gap take to close?

A single small gap can be closed in 6-9 months using braces or Invisalign; multiple gaps may take from 12 months to 2 years to fully close, in a safe, effective, and long-lasting manner.
