A confident smile always reflects a person’s personality and appeals everybody in the world. However, there are people who hold their smile as they are displeased or embarrassed by their teeth appearance. Severe space or gap in between the teeth is named as Diastema in cosmetic dentistry. Usually, diastema is found among the upper two front incisors.
