Seocho-dong Dental Clinic, My Front Teeth Look Darkly Gapped <Black Triangle Treatment Case>

Hello.

Wonjin Dental Clinic

I am Director Park Jaehyung.

Seocho-dong Dental Clinic

The dark-looking gaps between teeth

The spaces that look empty

Because of the spaces between teeth,

there are quite a few people who

feel discomfort or stress.

I can see a black gap between my front teeth.

Will this gap close on its own

as time passes?

Seocho-dong Dental Clinic (Black Triangle Treatment)

This kind of concern is especially common

among office worker women in their 20s to 40s

in Seocho-dong,

and also among middle-aged people

who are beginning to notice

gum changes,

when they come in for consultations.

with similar discomfort or concerns.

So in today’s post,

| 1. Causes of the gaps between front teeth (black triangle) 2. Causes and treatment process through real cases |

I’ll explain in detail. ^^

Reasons why black triangles

appear

When the gums between teeth are not

filled in enough,

a triangular space appears dark,

and this phenomenon is called a black triangle.

Reduced gum height (periodontal issues)

The most common cause is

changes in gum height.

(Before treatment)

If the interdental papilla does not

fill in sufficiently due to periodontitis or gum recession,

the space may appear dark.

Changes in alignment after orthodontic treatment

After orthodontic treatment,

the teeth become straighter, and spaces

that had been overlapped may be revealed.

Black triangles do not appear

the same way for everyone.

Depending on age, the original shape of the teeth,

gum health, and how much the teeth were

overlapped before orthodontic treatment,

the degree and size of what is visible

can vary from person to person.

it may help you understand ↓ >

What are the treatment options?

Seocho-dong Dental Clinic

After carefully checking the gum condition,

tooth shape, contact point location,

and alignment and bite,

we determine whether shape can be

corrected with resin, whether orthodontic

treatment is needed,

Brenite (no-prep laminate)

and whether laminate or Brenite

(no-prep laminate)

is appropriate,

depending on the individual’s condition.

| ※ Because black triangle treatment plans vary depending on each patient’s tooth shape, periodontal condition, and the degree of existing tooth overlap, we recommend consulting the attending medical staff. |

Brenite (no-prep laminate)

Actual treatment process

Seocho-dong Dental Clinic

This case involved someone who had been

worrying about the gap between the front teeth for a long time.

After carefully checking the gum condition,

tooth shape, and bite,

26.1.26 (Before treatment)

it was a case that could be improved with

Brenite (no-prep laminate), which requires

minimal tooth reduction.

26.1.26 (After treatment)

By minimizing the amount of natural tooth reduction,

it can improve the shape, size, and color together,

making it suitable for people who want

a change in a short period of time.

However, Brenite (no-prep laminate)

is not the right answer for everyone.

After comprehensively checking gum condition,

tooth shape, bite, and other factors,

it is important to determine a treatment plan

that matches the individual’s condition.

Treatment standards at Wonjin Dental Clinic

Seocho-dong Dental Clinic

If you are considering

front-tooth gap treatment at Seocho-dong Dental Clinic,

we recommend first having your current condition checked.

Healthy teeth should be the foundation,

and I believe that treatment with a comfortable process

should support the result for it to last.

We will work together to find a direction

that is helpful in the long term.
