What Are Gap Teeth?
Gap teeth (also known as diastema) refer to spaces or gaps between teeth—most commonly between the upper front teeth. This spacing may occur naturally due to jaw and tooth size differences, missing teeth, tongue thrusting habits, or even gum issues.
While some people embrace the look of gapped teeth, others seek treatment for functional or aesthetic reasons. Left untreated, significant gaps can cause:
- Food trapping and plaque buildup
- Gum irritation
- Bite misalignment
- Speech issues (especially with front-tooth gaps)
How Invisalign Closes Gaps
Why Fixing Gapped Teeth Matters
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to gradually move teeth closer together and close the space. It’s a highly effective option for treating mild to moderate spacing cases—without the need for traditional braces.
Invisalign for gap teeth may include:
- Precise tooth movement using digital planning
- SmartForce® attachments to apply targeted pressure
- Gradual closure of gaps without invasive procedures
- Retainers post-treatment to prevent gaps from reopening
Our dentist in Ealing will assess your case and determine whether Invisalign is the right approach for your specific spacing concerns.


Closing the gaps between teeth isn’t just about creating a uniform smile—it’s also about improving functionality and health. Benefits include:
- Easier cleaning and better oral hygiene
- Reduced risk of gum disease and cavities
- Improved speech (especially for lisps or whistle sounds)
- More balanced bite and jaw function
- Enhanced aesthetics and self-esteem
With Invisalign, you can achieve these benefits discreetly and comfortably.

FAQs
Can Invisalign close gaps between teeth?
Yes, Invisalign is highly effective at closing mild to moderate gaps by gradually moving teeth into the correct position using custom-made aligners.
How long does Invisalign take to fix gapped teeth?
Treatment time depends on the size and number of gaps. Minor cases may take as little as 6 months, while more complex ones may require 12–18 months.
Will the gap reopen after treatment?
Not if you wear your retainers as instructed. Retainers are crucial for keeping your teeth in place after Invisalign treatment ends.
Is Invisalign better than veneers for gap teeth?
Invisalign moves your natural teeth, while veneers only cover the gap. Invisalign is a healthier, more permanent option without removing tooth enamel.
Are gap teeth a medical issue?
They can be if they lead to gum problems, difficulty cleaning, or bite issues. It's best to have a dentist evaluate whether treatment is needed.
Is Invisalign painful?
You may feel slight pressure when changing aligners, but most patients find Invisalign comfortable and far less intrusive than braces.
