Madonna
Madonna has always been proud of this “flaw”. We can say that she had a “special relationship” with him. Designers of the 90s always strived to create the perfect picture. After finishing shooting the star for the popular Glamor magazine, they made adjustments to the image. The most offensive thing for the star was that the smile was retouched and the gap, which the celebrity was so proud of, disappeared. Madonna was genuinely upset and refused the award.
Modern interpretation
The presence of a gap between the teeth is a striking sign that makes a person as noticeable as possible. The girl looks sexy and defenseless, and the guy’s flaw adds charm and mystery. It is believed that such people have the ability to enjoy life and enjoy every moment.
Among famous people, Vanessa Paradis, Madonna, Brigitte Bardot, Alla Pugacheva can boast of a gap between their teeth.
A similar twist is common among creative individuals. Creativity and the ability to take a non-standard approach allow a person to easily achieve noticeable success. It is important that the flaw does not disfigure the appearance.
Modern interpretation also pays attention to the size of the gap between the teeth. It is believed that the neater and more natural the defect, the happier the object. It is important that the defect does not appear due to poor oral care. Caries eats away the enamel, which can result in a “fashionable” flaw.
In China, they still believe that large gaps between teeth promise financial problems and intemperance. Often such people are attributed to idle talk and the inability to keep other people's secrets. In Europe they believe that zigzag sparse incisors are a sign of a vengeful person.
Lara Stone
Lara is also in no hurry to go to the dentist to correct the defect. The modeling business has finally paid attention to individuality. It was a smile with such a feature that allowed the star to receive a tempting contract. A short video for the presentation of perfume from Stella McCartney was a huge success. The plot was based on the charming smile of Lara Stone. Men could not take their eyes off such advertising, and women were sure to purchase a bottle of this perfume.
Among the models considered the sexiest, Lara ranks ninth. diastema and slightly “alien” appearance did not become an obstacle to achieving such success.
Sign for men
Representatives of the stronger sex with teeth with gaps were promised wealth and success in Scotland. It was believed that if a sovereign coin was placed in the hole, a person would not lack money throughout his life. Since childhood, mothers have paid attention to flaws in their child’s mouth, trying to predict the future.
Excessively wide gaps with small teeth were attributed to people who had a secretive and resourceful character. Having seen such a sign, those around them knew that such a guy should not be allowed close to valuable objects or trusted with a good position. Superstitions turned those with defects into outcasts.
What do long and protruding teeth with a noticeable gap mean? In medieval Europe, amazing properties were attributed to this. The personality was believed to be very aggressive. Such characteristics were suitable for professional warriors or mercenaries, so recruiters paid attention to this sign.
For Eastern European men, gaps in the teeth signify openness and a cheerful character. Such people were often credited with excessive, almost childish spontaneity. They could easily find a common language with any person, but their frivolity made others not take them seriously.
Certain signs existed in the presence of large front teeth with a noticeable gap. Such representatives of the stronger sex knew how to please women and had a kind soul. The same signs, but with sharp incisors, could reveal an energetic man with a sarcastic tongue.
Abbey Lee Kershaw
Success came to Abbey Lee Kershaw immediately after the first shows. This is a very popular and most atypical model. Piercings and tattoos distinguish the star from her colleagues. Fashion designers are simply in love with her. For many, the model has become a real inspiration. The girl often plays different roles in films and became the face of the famous Gucci Flora perfume. She participated many times at the opening of shows of the most popular brands, and walked the catwalk 29 times. This all convinces us that the gap does not at all prevent the star from conquering new heights. She is successful not only in the modeling business.

Blonde Belgian with green-blue eyes, Tanga Moreau, entered the modeling business in the mid-1990s. The girl achieved success quite quickly: her first shoot was an advertising campaign for Moschino, then she starred for Alberta Ferretti, Kenzo and Miu Miu, and later signed the most expensive exclusive contract in history - for five years in a row Tanga was the face of several lines and the fragrance of Ralph Lauren. At the age of 23, the girl, who was born with cysts in the spinal cord, due to which she could be paralyzed at any moment, quit her modeling job for marriage and the birth of a child. But in 2010, agents invited Moreau to return to the industry. Perhaps this happened thanks to the gap: it was then that the fashion for fashion models with such a flaw reached its peak. Also at this time, models from previous decades like Kristen McMenamy and Stella Tennant were returning to the modeling business. Over the past year, the thirty-three-year-old Belgian, who has two children, has walked in shows for Chanel, Calvin Klein and Maison Martin Margiela, posed for Italian, Russian and French Vogue, iD and The Gentlewoman, and also appeared in campaigns for Akris, Sandro and in the Maison Michel lookbook along with another model with a gap, Ashley Smith.
Ashley Smith
Ashley Smith started her career quite late. This did not become an obstacle to overwhelming popularity. The star is often called the most stylish model in New York. She often takes part in advertising shoots and presents the loudest shows. Her short stature, noticeable freckles and gaps make her unique and only contribute to her career growth.
Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger
Karl Lagerfeld, whom many call an unsurpassed master of his craft, does not classify diastema as a cosmetic flaw. He simply adores models with this feature. Thanks to these girls, the gap between teeth has become a fashion trend. Non-standard appearance is increasingly attracting attention. Thanks to this difference, May Jagger is called “the new Kate Moss.”
Let's define the terminology
In the scientific literature, two main notations are used to determine gaps between teeth. A gap between the central incisors, such as Vanessa Paradis's, is called a diastema. The free spaces between any other teeth are called trema.
Depending on the age of the patient and the time of formation of the gap, the diastema can be of two types:
- a false one forms between the teeth in children aged 3-5 years during the period of replacement of milk teeth with permanent ones, does not require correction, and disappears on its own over time;
- the true one is a consequence of a pathological process (untimely loss of baby teeth, etc.) or a genetic feature that is inherited, requiring orthodontic correction.
Anna Paquin
A happy accident allowed Anna to become famous in the world of cinema. Almost 5,000 girls applied for the role of Flora in the film with a dramatic plot “The Piano”. However, the choice fell on Anna. The girl really appreciates and is proud of her appearance. When she is asked why she does not want to remove the space between her teeth, she is offended. He thinks it's rude on their part. The actress does not plan to remove the diastema and considers it the highlight of her image.

In 2003, she was able to create her own brand. Originality and fashion trends are characteristic of the Masha Tsigal brand. Now she is a popular designer of our time. Masha believes that the diastema is part of herself and has no plans to get rid of such a “flaw.”
Ways and methods of dental care
Let's talk about how gaps between teeth are removed in dentistry. Which method or combination of technologies is right for you depends on the initial clinical situation, which is identified through a comprehensive diagnosis: radiography, medical history, visual examination, complaints.
Therapeutic approach
A small gap can be closed with a composite material, and minor defects in the form of bends, spots, or irregular shapes can be corrected using artistic extensions. At the appointment, the dentist-therapist will apply composites layer by layer to the problem area, model them into the desired shape, and give the restoration a shade as close as possible to natural enamel. Next, it remains to grind and polish the material.
The method is fast, but not the most durable. Plus, the patient does not always get the result he wanted. After all, handling composites in the area of central incisors is a filigree job that requires a high level of skill, and not every specialist can do this. The biggest challenge here is to ensure that the restoration matches the color and shine of the patient's teeth.
On a note! Composite restorations require careful and careful care without the use of abrasives. The material quickly accumulates plaque and loses its shine and needs polishing.
Orthopedic approach
An orthopedic dentist will tell you how to remove a gap between the front teeth if, for example, it is caused by microdentia, that is, a violation of the shape and size of the crown. If the incisor crowns are too small, the doctor may suggest the following treatment options:
- prosthetics with veneers, lumineers and other types of aesthetic thin overlays: these are installed in the frontal area and visually mask the defect,
- installation of crowns: this invasive procedure makes sense if the front incisors have already undergone significant destructive processes as a result of injuries and caries.
An orthopedist will also provide assistance if the defect is caused by the loss of some teeth. The doctor may suggest the installation of various prostheses: bridges, removable devices, crowns (on implants). However, in this case, the specialist often has to work in tandem with other doctors: an orthodontist, an implantologist. And treatment takes a lot of time, since the neighboring teeth have managed to shift to the place of the lost one, which means they need to be returned to their original position so that there is enough space for installing dentures and implants.
Important! The orthopedic approach allows you to get rid of the diastema by increasing the width of the crown of the tooth, which is not the right solution for all patients. Sometimes this can lead to an unsatisfactory aesthetic result, for example, the front teeth will look too large after restoration. Therefore, when choosing a method, it is imperative to take into account all the patient’s parameters, conduct thorough diagnostics and 3D modeling of the treatment process.
Orthodontic approach
This is perhaps the longest treatment method, but sometimes it is the most effective. For example, in case of malocclusion pathologies that impair not only the beauty of the smile, but also the functionality of the maxillofacial apparatus. And also, if you want to get rid of gaps caused by the fact that neighboring teeth have managed to move to the place of a long-removed element.
Correcting gaps between teeth with braces
“If a gap is critical for you, and you don’t mind the money and time to fix it, then definitely treat it. In addition to the diastema, I had another not very pleasant problem associated with it - I was literally spitting saliva through the gap during a conversation. It’s not very pleasant, so I took care of correcting it. Somehow it turned out that naturally after 13 years it didn’t go away for me. I wore braces for almost 2 years.”
Anna K, fragment of a review from the lady.mail.ru forum
Here, doctors can offer adult patients wearing permanent braces or removable aligners. If it is necessary to straighten only individual teeth, different plates may be prescribed. If harmful functional habits occur, wearing trainers may be required. On average, treatment takes 1-2 years. Then you need to wear retainers, which prevent the teeth from moving back.
The orthodontic approach often involves surgery or orthopedics before or after it. For example, individual “supernumerary” teeth may need to be removed before braces can be applied. And after correcting the bite, the patient can complete the look by installing veneers or lumineers.

The Canadian singer loves to smile widely, despite a small drawback - the singer’s fangs protrude too far, making the girl’s smile slightly “vampirelike”. However, this does not spoil the appearance of the rock princess, and fans believe that such a cute feature only emphasizes Avril’s perky character.
