What are Black Triangle Teeth?

Having black triangle teeth, otherwise known as ‘open gingival embrasures’, actually means that there are spaces present between the teeth and the gum line which shows as a triangle gap between teeth. Unfortunately, they can attract unwanted attention when an individual is smiling. In particular, they occur as we age and they occur more frequently in those with gum/periodontal disease and in smokers.

Not only can black triangle teeth make an individual look older, but they can also serve as food traps and can harvest plaque, tartar, food and stains. This can potentially lead to gum disease and tooth decay. These triangles can sometimes even affect your speech or result in some patients ‘spitting,’ when talking.

There can be several causes of black triangle teeth, and the triangle gap between teeth can be caused by a combination of the following:

  • Recession of gums due to gum disease.
  • Recession of gums due to thin tissue biotype.
  • Orthodontic movement of teeth
  • Natural shape and position of teeth

How to Prevent a Triangle Gap Between Teeth

We can help reduce the chances of black triangle teeth developing by carrying out good oral hygiene. Using a soft small brush head and gently massaging the teeth and gums is advised. Daily interdental cleaning as instructed by your dentist/ hygienist is recommended in order to avoid developing a triangle gap between teeth. A regular dental check-up in our London clinics will allow the dentist to pick up on these triangles early on.

How to Fix Black Triangles Between Teeth

  • Do nothing – If the gum disease is not active, the triangle gap between teeth is being kept clean and they are not an aesthetic concern to the patient.
  • Gum Surgery – If the patient is suitable a surgical approach can be taken to restore these triangles, learn about the revolutionary pinhole technique used for how to fix black triangles between teeth here.
  • CrownsVeneers – A more traditional and expensive approach.
  • Orthodontic treatment – If suitable, teeth can gently be reshaped and re aligned to eliminate/reduce the triangle gap between teeth.
  • Aesthetic bonding using conventional techniques – A relatively painless procedure in which the teeth are built up by a skilled practitioner freehand to eliminate/reduce the black triangle teeth using composite resin.
  • Bioclear matrix technique – This is aesthetic bonding using injection moulding of composite resin, similar to the option above but a more contemporary technique allowing us to produce aesthetically superior, more predictable and longer lasting In lower teeth this may be the only long lasting option.  See the Bioclear matrix technique below
