Gap in Teeth

The most common cause of gapped front teeth is a fraenum that sits lower than usual and keeps the two top front teeth apart.

Gapped teeth are considered a majorly complex cosmetic factor, but they also cause functional problems that can affect one’s health. For example, food is more easily caught between gapped teeth which in turn pushes the opening further. In addition, the exposed gums between the teeth are more easily damaged and infected. If the gap is inherited through genetics, aging, or gum diseases, orthodontic treatments alone are often not enough to resolve the issue.

With Minish Dental Hospital, we can cover all concerns regarding gapped teeth from orthodontic treatments to veneers. Our minimal shaving technique helps fit veneers more naturally, unlike the use of laminate which requires the reduction of 0.5-0.7mm of enamel.

Bunny Teeth

What causes bunny teeth, also known as buck teeth? Bunny teeth are when the incisors appear relatively prominent due to a longer length or larger width. Bunny teeth can occur due to a number of factors such as tongue thrusting, thumb sucking, and natural alignment. Gum disease, affected chewing and speech, jaw problems and even tooth loss may result from an overbite.

If the cause of rabbit teeth is due to the angle of the teeth, it can be resolved through orthodontic treatment. In the case of large tooth size differences, it is difficult to expect satisfactory results with orthodontic treatment alone. Thus, Minish suggests a hybrid treatment of orthodontics and veneers for patients with concerns about bunny teeth. Our hybrid treatment establishes a 1:1 customized treatment plan through a detailed examination and analysis system using state-of-the-art equipment.

Butterfly Teeth

Teeth erupting crookedly – known popularly as butterfly teeth – are caused by a number of reasons ranging from genetics to mouth deformities and serious oral diseases. Although there is no major problem in the overall teeth alignment when one has butterfly teeth, spread-out incisors can make the entire alignment of one’s smile appear uneven.

Trying to improve the shape through general esthetic prosthetic treatment such as with laminate or crowns will inevitably increase the amount of teeth shaving required. This will have a fatal adverse effect on your dental health. To minimize the teeth shaving, the patient featured in the photograph received six Minish veneers to help improve the alignment.
