A gap between the teeth is quite common and normal in children, in fact it is desirable as it will give the adult teeth more room. A child with a gap in adult front teeth is also normal and usually closes by mid teens. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry about gaps until adulthood.

Will teeth effect bands cause new gaps in other teeth?

It depends on how far apart the gap is..but it can easily be fixed. My whole life i had a big gap in my teeth and i didnt like to smile or talk to people, So then at the beginning of my 10th grade year i decided that i wasnt going to go through this anymore. So i bought some rubber bands..not normal teeth bands, just like small rubber bands for your hair that cost like $2.50 at the beauty supply store and my gap closed with in a month but as that one closed another gap developed between the two teeth on both sides of the front two ones so i just moved the rubber bands and started putting them around all four of the front teeth and that gap closed with in like a week since my gums were looser cuz the front two teeth that moved. Now my teeth are straight and i always get compliments on my teeth and smile! And my Dentist was shocked that i fixed my teeth myself and with normal hair bands..He said i did a really good job! I Hope This Helped!

How do you cure a diastema?

Diastema (aka "Teeth Gap") is a very common issue. While some find a gap between their teeth attractive, many would prefer to close their teeth gap. Although it's typically not referred to as a "Cure", their are many solutions for teeth gaps either temporarily or permanently. Teeth Gap can be fixed with orthodontic braces, Invisalign, veneers, or teeth gap bands. While all of these options are effective, the first few listed can be extremely costly and take years to fully close a teeth gap. A popular choice found online for closing teeth gap permanently (otherwise "Curing" diastema) is orthodontic teeth gap bands. If you are looking for a cheap alternative for closing a gap between your teeth, you should consider looking into teeth bands. These tiny rubber bands are sold by several companies online.


If you use teeth effect bands to close your gap and afterwards get a retainer would the gap stay closed?

I have found from personal experience that a retainer doesn't do much for gaps. It didn't for me. I had about a half centimeter gap in between my two front teeth and the orthodontist used bands to hold the gap. He did this for over a year, yet when I got my braces off and started using a retainer, the gap was back in a month. My teeth continuing to drift may have something to do with my age. I had braces from 10-late 12. I have heard that your jaw is softer when younger and that it hardens with age, thus keeping teeth in place. I'm not totally sure on this though.


Is there a way to close a gap between an adult's teeth without braces and how long does it take?

I was looking for some cheap and invisible way to close my teeth gap. I found out that Teeth effect bands are the quickest and cheapest way to close teeth gap and they are clear bands. I am 35 and I had big gap between my front teeth. I used teeth effect bands from www.oralband.com for $19.99 and it closed my teeth gap in my front teeth in less than 1 month. You can either use: 1- Bonding (white fillings) which take only one appointement 2- Porcelain veneers which take two appointements. 3- Invisible orthodontistry (Invisalign) which takes at least a year for a full mouth straightening of your teeth. Yes, teeth effect bands from teethgap.com can be used to close your gap without going to the dentist. That "teeth effects" stuff sounds like a gimmick. I doubt if it will be able to close teeth gaps. I went to their website and it doesn't look like it can be trusted. They don't even have a phone number. Actually, the teeth gap is not a gimmick and it does work. I had a kind-of small gap and I used the bands. After three weeks, the gap was almost completely gone. I HIGHLY recommend this. I've used the teeth makeover bands, and they worked for me *shrugs* Worth a try. They're cheaper than teeth effect bands and their site is more professional. Invisalign takes about 4 months and it is Cheap around $20
