    Another cause of diastema is when people have congenitally missing teeth(lateral incisors). If the latter did not develop, the space permits the front teeth to separate and create a diastema. If you do not have these teeth, there are different choices to replace the teeth like dental implants, bridgework and orthodontic treatment that gradually moves the eye teeth to where it should be positioned. Your orthodontist will examine and evaluate your case then decide the kind of treatment that is best for you. Typically, the first step an orthodontist does is to take impressions of your teeth to make casts, do a thorough clinical examination, take a set of facial and dental pictures and radiographs with panoramic and side head views.
