Large gaps between teeth may be caused by factors such as periodontitis, gum recession, tooth misalignment, missing teeth, or naturally wide spacing between teeth. Treatment depends on the specific cause and generally includes: 1. Periodontitis treatment: maintaining good oral hygiene. 2. Gum recession treatment: periodontal surgery or laser therapy to promote gum regeneration. 3. Tooth misalignment treatment: orthodontic correction using braces or invisible aligners. 4. Missing tooth treatment: dental implants or dentures to replace the missing tooth. 5. Excessive tooth gap treatment: orthodontics or cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers.
