Orthodontic problems - Spacing

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Spacing in the primary dentition is a sign that there might be enough space for the permanent teeth to erupt in a more normal way. A small space between the front teeth in patients younger than 9 years of age is quite often normal. The most obvious spacing is a midline diastema in the upper jaw.
