Why do I have black triangle shaped spaces between my teeth?
The shape of the teeth. If your teeth are sort of fan shaped, they connect with one another at the chewing surface but not near the gum line, leaving a larger gap between teeth.
Gum recession. Black triangles appear when the gums surrounding your teeth begin to recede due to gum disease or bite-related problems.
Orthodontic treatment. Sometimes when crowded adult teeth are straightened, the gums between the teeth aren't thick enough to fill in the space.
