It is normal for a child to have gaps between teeth because the child's jaws are developing. Treatment is not necessary.

The probable cause for gaps between teeth in an adult's case is that either his/her teeth are too small, or he/she does not have the normal number of teeth. We recommend that you consult an orthodontic specialist for an in-depth examination. Treatment in either case is to move the teeth to close the gap using an orthodontic appliance and, if necessary, artificial teeth will be inserted to supplement the gap.
