Gaps between teeth, also known as diastema, can affect both the aesthetics and function of your smile. Whether due to genetics, missing teeth, or habits like thumb sucking, gaps can sometimes lead to alignment issues or self-consciousness. At Dream Smile Dental Clinic, we offer a range of treatments to close gaps and create a harmonious, confident smile.

Gappy Teeth: Causes, Treatment Options, and Smile Enhancements
Common Causes of Gappy Teeth
- Genetics – Some people naturally have a wider spacing between teeth.
- Jaw Size Discrepancy – A mismatch between tooth size and jaw structure can lead to gaps.
- Missing Teeth – A lost tooth can cause nearby teeth to shift, creating unwanted spaces.
- Thumb Sucking or Tongue Thrusting – Early childhood habits can push teeth apart over time.
- Gum Disease – Weakening gums can lead to tooth movement and spacing issues.

What our patients say
I saw Dr Mohsen over the course of 15 months for Invisalign and composite bonding. The treatment provided was nothing short of exceptional and I am thrilled with the end results. Dr Mohsen truly is skilled when it comes to correcting both cosmetic and functional (bite) issues with Invisalign, working to give you the absolute best result possible . It is clear from speaking with Dr Mohsen (even from the very first consultation) is a genuine care for patients and giving them honest advice on what would be the best solution for them as opposed to simply looking to make a sale as I have found was the case with other consultations I had. I was re assured throughout the treatment that everything was going to plan (including regular checkups with the dr himself every 4-6 weeks) and where amendments were needed / I had questions or concerns these were addressed and with the upmost attention. If you are looking for an experienced, caring and affordable Invisalign provider, I would thoroughly recommend the clinic and Dr Mohsen- you will not regret the decision.

I had my Invisalign done at this practice. Dr Mohsen is an excellent orthodontist. The reception staff are welcoming and Cheryl is the best hygienist I have ever come across. Thorough and professional.
As a dentist myself, I know I can be quite particular when it comes to detail but Dr. Mohsen was kind enough to take me on for my smile makeover, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He placed 8 veneers for me, and I’ve had so many compliments on how beautiful and natural they look.
What really stood out was how gentle and caring he was throughout the process! I didn’t even feel his injections! He genuinely took the time to make sure I was comfortable and looked after at every stage. It’s rare to find someone with such a great mix of technical skill and emotional intelligence in dentistry.
Thank you, Dr. Mohsen, for giving me a smile I’m proud of!

I’ve been a patient at Dream Smile since 2014 and couldn’t be happier. As someone who dreaded going to the dentist due previous traumatic experiences, I can confidentially say that Dr Mohsen and the team look after their patients with exceptional care.
Thank you looking after my teeth with such care for over 10years, I couldn’t be happier and would recommend you over and over again!
