Use The Bioclear Approach To Treat Black Triangles

At Centre Place Dental of Lincoln, Nebraska, we have been receiving inquiries from our patients regarding the undesirable gaps or “dental black triangles” forming between their teeth. Individuals who smoke or suffer from gum disease are more likely to experience them as they age. Due to the natural tapering of teeth towards the root, these gaps often take on a triangular shape. These black triangles can give teeth an aging, darker appearance.

The appearance of dark teeth is not due to their natural color but rather the contrast between your whiter teeth, pinker gums, and the dark spaces between them. Our eyes seem naturally drawn to this dark space when interacting with those who have them. In addition to their aesthetic impact, these dark gaps can accumulate food particles, tartar, bacteria, and plaque, leading to potential issues with your dental health. They may also alter your speech pattern, causing you to spit during conversations.

A different kind of spacing, called diastema, is a natural occurrence between teeth, typically observed in the front teeth. Although not a dental concern, some individuals may find this aesthetically displeasing, which can lead to feelings of self-consciousness or reduced confidence.

What causes black triangles to develop?

Some of the factors contributing to the formation of black triangles in the smile include:

• Following orthodontic treatment. Black triangles can develop after patients have used braces or clear aligners to reposition their teeth.
• The tooth’s natural shape and contours. Sometimes, the shape of the natural tooth alone can cause the triangular shape to appear.
• Gingival recession. Recession due to periodontal disease or even bite-related traumas can cause black triangles to appear.

What can be done about black triangles?

For many years, the best option for treating black triangles was the placement of dental crowns, veneers, or dental bonding. These often require the removal of natural tooth structure to place, which should be avoided whenever possible. After continued research and years of development, Bioclear has become the obvious choice for black triangle treatment. The Bioclear Matrix System used by Drs. Chris and Robin Post have revolutionized treatment for this specific dental concern. It is minimally invasive and closes black triangles quickly and easily right in the dentist’s chair in a single visit!
