However, very few people have perfect teeth and a perfect bite. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What is tooth compression?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tooth compression is one of the most common orthodontic irregularities. Compression actually occurs due to a lack of space for the proper placement of all teeth in the dental arches. <\/p>\n<p>Compressions are also the result of a mismatch in the size and width of the teeth and the available space for placing those teeth in the dental arch.<\/p>\n<p>If the teeth are too large for the jaw, they become crowded, which means they can only develop by protruding outside the dental arch or &#8216;over&#8217; neighboring teeth.<\/p>\n<p>In another situation, if the teeth are too small for the jaw, the spaces between them will be too large.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a diastema?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The presence of diastema in the front teeth is very common. The causes of the appearance of gaps between the teeth can be growth and development disorders, orthodontic anomalies, deviations in the size and inclination of the teeth, pathological conditions and many other factors. <\/p>\n<p>The gap most often occurs between two central incisors, usually the upper, and less often the lower. This gap can be larger or smaller, and therefore more or less noticeable. <\/p>\n<p>It is important to emphasize that we are talking about the gap that occurs between permanent teeth. This phenomenon is completely normal in baby teeth and is just a sign that the jaw is growing and expanding to accommodate all the permanent teeth. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_243.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5119 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_243.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_243.jpg 848w, https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_243-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_243-768x330.jpg 768w\" alt=\"dental examination\" width=\"848\" height=\"364\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cause of diastema is mostly genetic, so there is not much that can be done to prevent it from occurring. There are a number of different therapeutic procedures available to close diastema. <\/p>\n<p>A well-established diagnosis helps in choosing therapy and solving the problem in the most effective way, and today&#8217;s dentistry has developed several solutions to this aesthetic problem.<\/p>\n<p>The best and most natural way is to bring the teeth into the optimal position, i.e. to &#8216;move&#8217; them using orthodontic braces (either fixed or removable). The second way is prosthetics &#8211; by making aesthetic ceramic veneers in just a few days.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ceramic veneers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Correction <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/eng\/Dentistry\/Veneers\"><strong>with aesthetic ceramic veneers<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most popular aesthetic corrections in the world, and they can completely transform a smile &#8211; painlessly, gently, quickly and long-lastingly.<\/p>\n<p>Their main advantage is excellent aesthetic results and durability.<\/p>\n<p>They are very often performed on patients who want to permanently change the color of their teeth. The advantage over bleaching is that bleaching therapy has a temporary effect, and it is also very difficult to correct some severe discolorations (so-called tetracycline teeth or dental fluorosis). <\/p>\n<p>Veneers are a great way to address the problem of gaps between teeth, and they can also correct minor irregularities in tooth position in the event of compression. If you decide to get veneers, you need to make a good plan first. <\/p>\n<p>It includes the creation of study models of the teeth and their &#8216;foreshadowing&#8217; in the future shape, where the end result will be seen, and if necessary, temporary veneers can be made that are tried in the mouth before any grinding and the final decision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_244.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5121 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_244.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_244.jpg 848w, https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_244-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.poliklinikabagatin.hr\/blog_images\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web_848x364px_244-768x330.jpg 768w\" alt=\"dental veneers\" width=\"848\" height=\"364\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Veneers are usually made in just a few visits.
