Gum recession with large gaps between teeth can generally be treated through orthodontic correction. Soft tissue grafting is another option, which involves removing soft tissue from a donor site and transplanting it to the area of receded gums, where it is integrated with the existing gum tissue. The healing process should then be monitored gradually. If the condition can be successfully healed and no pain occurs due to food impaction, the gums may slowly recover over time.
