Diastema

- This is a gap between the upper front teeth due to an incorrectly inserted maxillary midline labial frenum
- This frenum is the piece of mucosa which attaches the upper lip to between the top front teeth
- This should not be attached between the teeth but rather a few mm away from the gum between the teeth
- This may require a frenectomy to be performed during or after treatment - to be reassessed
