How to reduce the gap between teeth naturally at home?
While there’s no guaranteed natural way to close gaps in teeth, maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, and keeping gums healthy can help prevent gaps from worsening. Some try dental bands or exercises, but these can be risky without professional guidance. For safe and effective results, clear aligners are the recommended solution.

Will I need to wear a retainer after using Caspersmile aligners to fix spacing issues?
