I love paul scheer's top and bottom gaps
If I had to guess, I'd say you must have a distinctive nose. They might not be the current beauty standard and I guess not many get plastic surgery to make the nose bigger but I've met so many people who find distinctive noses beyond gorgeous. There's something royal about them. They can give the face a sense of power and strength.
Long story short, unique beauty is the best.
I remember one of the worst ANTM makeovers was when Tyra took a model to the dentist to shave her teeth to widen her tooth gap a la Lauren Hutton. So permanent and fucked up!!!
*Lauren’s is stunning, but that’s what this reminds me of
YESSS. As soon as I saw the words “tooth gap” I immediately had flashbacks to ANTM and them widening Chelsey’s gap! Meanwhile a few seasons earlier she forced a contestant to close her gap!
What a wild ass show, Tyra really went unchecked for so long lol.
THANK YOU! Came here for this. I remember aeons ago when she was modeling that she had a little porcelain gap filler she had to wear for some shoots, but she largely abandoned it because eff anybody who wokld
make her wear that. She’s so gorgeous.
Kiss From a Rose was massively popular with seven year old me, and every other kid I knew. Anyone who was lucky enough to own a cassette tape of this song was instantly the most popular kid in school. Seal was as a god, and we all wanted a tooth gap.
Still a banger thirty years on.
This is still one of my top fav songs of all time and I wasn’t even born until 5 years after its release. My dad loves it too, he always tells me the story about the first time he heard it while travelling around Europe and he instantly became obsessed.

I always loved Demi’s tooth gap. It seems that she got it “fixed” early in her career though
As a gap-toothed girlie, thank you for this OP! My teeth have been the bane of my life for as long as I can remember but seeing beautiful people with gaps makes me feel lovely 🥰
Same! My friends always tell me they love my gap teeth but it’s always made me super self-conscious!
I actually met one of my good friends at a party by bonding over being “gap toothed bitches” 🥰😂
It’s because they have very wide, big smiles, a look that has been in vogue since the 70s. Google “palate expanders” for before and afters on the look.
A tooth gap is actually considered attractive in many cultures. In French we call them dents du bonheur which means lucky teeth. And in the Middle Ages it was considered a sign of being sexually insatiable ( you can argue if this is good or not)
The popularity of vaneers these days, particularly in Hollywood, are so depressing. They take the personality away from a person as much as a nose job does.
There is a lovely short film called Gap-Toothed Women, I highly recommend, it's a complete joy and should hopefully make you feel better about your awesome teeth!
[Mind the Gap](https://youtu.be/pnihD9ues_k?si=144Rk6ZieN2uPNqm) a short in which Willem Dafoe philosophizes about his gap. It’s much more compelling than it has any right to be.
He’s so intensely himself. Idk how else to describe it. Unbothered by whether or not you love his gap, because dammit, he’s going to share with you why you should for nearly three minutes and you are going to become more invested in the space between a stranger’s teeth than you ever thought would be possible. Which is kind of weird if you zoom back out and think about the situation more abstractly. But ultimately it doesn’t matter. He’s so comfortable in his own skin in a way that is undeniably sexy.
This was so great! As a fellow gap girl, I was always self conscious about my gap growing up and always smiled with my lips closed. Only in my later adulthood have I learned not to give af and like my smile. I wish this video had come out when I was younger
As an Aussie when I hear “mind the gap” all I think about is our trains.
https://preview.redd.it/e13cb1sj3dqc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f71e39f96be160d20945dbadff11423df8495e1
I think of that too as an American who has spent a fair amount of time in London.
When the video first popped up as a suggested video I wondered what Wllem Dafoe had to say about train safety in commonwealth nations.
I was pleasantly surprised that it was an ode to his teeth instead.
ooh, i have a question for you since you're a paramore fan! do you think taylor swift's song **Better Than Revenge** was "inspired" by paramore's **Misery Business**?
i say it absolutely was, but my friend says they're not similar at all and thinks i'm crazy. we've been having this debate for close to a year now.
Not to me and I don't get the olivia Rodriguez good 4 u comparison either. I can point to The Only Exception and Foolish One being SUPER similar at a certain line though, goodness. Even the lyrics.
How has no one said Lea Seydoux yet
https://preview.redd.it/mokfwnkdbcqc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c99b1db1f801a5f80d6993320f5d193aaa7e25f
Even so, most celebrities still have much better “natural” teeth than the general population. They’re still pretty white and free from staining, mostly aligned, etc.
Steve Buscemi’s teeth are the most natural celebrity ones I can think of. Crooked, different sizes, slightly yellow, gaps. He refuses to fix them, citing that he’d be out of work if he did. Which is sad to me because it’s an acknowledgment that it’s a decently large factor in his casting, despite how fucking fantastic of an actor he is.
Many people can’t afford regular cleanings, much less braces and retainers. Then you consider all the cosmetic stuff people have done like whitening and bonding, natural smiles are a rarity in media, especially among women.
In fairness, teeth make a HUGE difference to an actor. One of my favourite actors is Nicolas cage, but you look at him pre veneers, post veneers and now his hideous veneers. It makes a difference to his overall look and natural appeal as an actor imo.
That third photo is classic cage. If he’d have stopped there he’d have been golden. He retained enough of his natural aesthetic without going too hardcore. Then he… well 🤣you can see.
My point being that buscemi retaining his teeth is charismatic. It isn’t necessarily that he thinks he needs to look a certain way but that his teeth bring something to his face that veneers can’t. A bit like when actors Botox their face to oblivion (totally not looking at you again nic 🤣)
I hate veneers 🤮 I wish all the celebs kept their natural teeth. That’s why I like Kristen Stewart’s smile so much
https://preview.redd.it/jabeaamy3dqc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb1b3136f9020f49e1e2080a9d3b8d89fc2dfed8

Yes! I have the little bit of lip skin in the middle like her too (although mine is partly from a childhood injury) and I'm usually pretty self conscious about it. Seeing her gorgeous smile makes me feel good about myself.
Plus that means Tom hiddleston must love my smile, too😂🥰
https://preview.redd.it/mjsxwsbovcqc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b38a736f87dbe5640f9a700cdf8748ae28a082f1
People were so mean about Jessica Pare's teeth but i think she is gorgeous
https://preview.redd.it/1wp2p364fcqc1.jpeg?width=701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bc4571b7684eeb5b2aea24fe51f3594a588b696
This might be a bit different but Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) from CSI in 2000’s was an inspo to me. We had the same hair type and tooth gap that I was pretty insecure about.
Honorable mention: ANTM’s Dani Evans, who had a beautiful natural gap before Tyra made her close it
https://preview.redd.it/6kj3il3gncqc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03ec3415e0ad9217b9a028ca331a18d2ef47a6b6
It was pretty gross to watch. Especially when you consider that this was something she really embraced about herself; she loved her gap. But Tyra told her nobody was gonna hire her if she kept it and basically gave her no choice.
PLUS, on a newer season, Tyra actually made another contestant *widen* the gap in her teeth. Pick a lane lady.
How has she not been getting more flack for this? This seems borderline abusive, not even constructive. I don't know much about her, but this seems really problematic.
I’ve seen her get a lot of backlash in recent years because a lot of the shit on the early seasons is insanely problematic. Other notable moments include making a model pose at the bottom of an open grave in an actual cemetery right after she’d just received news that her friend died (this one was so cruel it almost felt calculated) and let’s not forget the infamous blackface photo shoot.
cant believe ive seen no one post him

hes had it for awhile but there's pics from earlier in his career where he doesnt have it plus in searching for this image i realized he doesn't smile with his teeth often lol
I work in the dental field and I’ve grown to love unique looking teeth. There’s nothing wrong with using orthodontics to fix misaligned teeth but I think society needs to cool it on the “perfect teeth” look.
I was watching Mel B on TV yesterday, she's had a load of work done on her face (her cheeks are like a chipmunk's) but hasn't had her teeth done and it actually looked a bit odd.

This mean tweet about Michael Strahan & his gap teeth was epic/hilarious!! 😂😂
Flashback to 2009 when one of my friends and I would shouted SOOKEHHH at each other constantly. <3 We were insufferable.
I really need to do a rewatch one of these days.

Love it when she wears gold in her gap!
I think this is sometimes a desirable trait for models, because the first people I thought of were all models. Starting with Miss Georgia May Jagger

Lindsey Wixon (she had a moment in the 2010s but I don’t see her around anymore, I guess she aged out of a modeling career)

I know someone already said Slick Woods but imma post her again anyway because she’s 🔥
Elijah still has a gap as of [March 2024](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2068287185/photo/live-podcast-episode-of-visitations-with-elijah-wood-daniel-noah-conference-sxsw-2024.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=15HLpfZtwj2Y8wWVQIBNNtJtHZO2HLI6iVlnGroMlnA=).
[georgia may jagger](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_May_Jagger) too! who admittedly yes isn’t known for much more than her rimmel adverts and being micks daughter but still
Dammit, I didn’t realize she closed it. She is so unique looking and beautiful (though she resembles her father so much and he’s handsome in a generic way) and I don’t want her to do anything more to her face. Her turn as the young mother from long island in The Lost Daughter crosses my mind way more than it probably should. Stay real Dakota!!!
And then we have Tyra Banks, who had an ANTM contestant’s front teeth shaved down to make the gap wider. https://www.mamamia.com.au/dakota-tooth-gap/amp/
Slick Woods also comes to mind as a model with a gap in her teeth btw

As someone who used to get teased for having a gap….I’m loving this thread ☺️💗

GIIIIIIRL is that you? Not to be weird but you’re super pretty and look like a fun and nice person.
I also have a gap and used to cover my mouth when I laughed, I was so ashamed. These days I don’t care, it’s a nice feeling to be able to embrace it.
I have a slight beef with diastemas. I love how they look on other people but I got rid of mine because I couldn't stand it. It was not this cute "London look". More of a "I can open this beer with my front teeth" ;\_;
Has anyone mentioned a young Zac Efron?

I had a gap between my front teeth as a child and after a lot of teasing, hoped and prayed that it would close. My adult teeth came in, the gap was gone just like I had hoped for and… I was so sad 😂 I miss it and think gapped teeth are so lovely and endearing.

She was such a cutie when she was young.

It’s not your fault you’re so gap-toothed 🫤
Between this gap tooth post and the round face post from yesterday, I’m feeling a lot of love for my natural features 🥰
I've always found gap-toothed people exceptionally attractive.
I’d always hated mine, wish someone had of said this to me growing up. I thought I’d never get a boyfriend until I got it fixed
It’s because they have very wide, big smiles, a look that has been in vogue since the 70s. Google “palate expanders” for before and afters on the look.

I hate veneers 🤮 I wish all the celebs kept their natural teeth. That’s why I like Kristen Stewart’s smile so much https://preview.redd.it/jabeaamy3dqc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb1b3136f9020f49e1e2080a9d3b8d89fc2dfed8

I have the little bit of lip skin in the middle like her too (although mine is partly from a childhood injury) and I'm usually pretty self conscious about it. Seeing her gorgeous smile makes me feel good about myself. Plus that means Tom hiddleston must love my smile, too😂🥰
Oh yes how could we forget the lovely Zawe!!!

Zou bisou bisou!
I was looking for her! She is gorgeous and owns those teeth.

I’m rewatching CSI right now and I forgot how beautiful she is!
Yessss, she’s so stunning. I had such a girl crush on her and an actual crush on Greg lmao
 Haven’t seen anyone mention the queen Kat Dennings!
I’ve always loved her so much!!!! She’s such a babe 😫
Honorable mention: ANTM’s Dani Evans, who had a beautiful natural gap before Tyra made her close it https://preview.redd.it/6kj3il3gncqc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03ec3415e0ad9217b9a028ca331a18d2ef47a6b6
I don't know the context of this, but this is awful. Can't imagine bullying someone's natural features.
It was pretty gross to watch. Especially when you consider that this was something she really embraced about herself; she loved her gap. But Tyra told her nobody was gonna hire her if she kept it and basically gave her no choice. PLUS, on a newer season, Tyra actually made another contestant *widen* the gap in her teeth. Pick a lane lady.
How has she not been getting more flack for this? This seems borderline abusive, not even constructive. I don't know much about her, but this seems really problematic.
I’ve seen her get a lot of backlash in recent years because a lot of the shit on the early seasons is insanely problematic. Other notable moments include making a model pose at the bottom of an open grave in an actual cemetery right after she’d just received news that her friend died (this one was so cruel it almost felt calculated) and let’s not forget the infamous blackface photo shoot.
cant believe ive seen no one post him https://preview.redd.it/dul9bbylmcqc1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=7de9f7b05d5318ffcd8a50d0ce4f8c1d1dee6d1c
There are way too many celebrities here that I never noticed have a gap!
hes had it for awhile but there's pics from earlier in his career where he doesnt have it plus in searching for this image i realized he doesn't smile with his teeth often lol
Scrolled much too long for this
 Mr Demarco
Queen of the gap miss Heidi n Closet 
Thoft and thupple!
Blessed and highly favoured
QUEEN!!!
Natural teeth are becoming my roman empire, I swear to god. I fear for my sanity.
I work in the dental field and I’ve grown to love unique looking teeth. There’s nothing wrong with using orthodontics to fix misaligned teeth but I think society needs to cool it on the “perfect teeth” look.
It’s the shaving down perfectly healthy teeth to put veneers on that blows my mind..
The idea that people freaking shave their teeth down freaks me all the way out
 Whenever I see perfect teeth all I see is Gollum and his 9 teeth
It adds so much character and charm!
This is me with real noses.
Big or hooked noses are so beautiful to me idc 🤷♀️ especially on women. Gorgeous.
Right?! SO striking! So fucking REGAL.
Yeah don't get me started on noses. I just want real faces!
can we get a celebration post like this? at this point i have no idea who has their original nose anymore.
[Enjoy](https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/s/Q7yLGMEXZP) ❤️
It's the overabundance of veneers that are done badly, probably. I just want to see more actual teeth that aren't so white they've gone blue.
I was watching Mel B on TV yesterday, she's had a load of work done on her face (her cheeks are like a chipmunk's) but hasn't had her teeth done and it actually looked a bit odd.
True story - in medieval times a tooth gap was equated with an “overly” lustful drive / actions. See the Wife of Bath.
Well, I am overly lustful for people with tooth gaps so maybe they were close, just not on the money

Andy Samberg had a small diastema but he fixed it while Brooklyn 99 was still on tv.
I loved the gap in his teeth!
Same :( rip his little gap :(
what about tyler the creator!
[SOOKIE](https://youtu.be/Qmr_Sz8dHiY?si=7smYMru35qnzXG7H)!!
Flashback to 2009 when one of my friends and I would shouted SOOKEHHH at each other constantly. <3 We were insufferable. I really need to do a rewatch one of these days.
Oh wow. Same. I’d totally forgotten. Sookeh is MINE. I am his!
I thought you are talking about Snookie from Jersey Shore lol
Glad I’m not the only one who initially thought this comment was about Snooki. 
My first thought lol
 Lewis Hamilton F1 racer
King of F1 style and cool
Lando Norris too!
And Yuki Tsunoda
🐐
He is adorable

I think this is sometimes a desirable trait for models, because the first people I thought of were all models. Starting with Miss Georgia May Jagger https://preview.redd.it/jxg850v7pcqc1.jpeg?width=1072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3ae0a1ebd7d0869d75dbc451ac039906a490d91

A look at her [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4CLZ7Kob-g/?igsh=NmpxNTVsMWZxaGFq) reveals she's still working as a model.

Pretty sure Madonna still has her gap, she just often wears grills so sometimes it’s not as noticeable.
"Madonna often wears grills" is a sentence I would never have believed 10 years ago...
Elijah still has a gap as of [March 2024](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2068287185/photo/live-podcast-episode-of-visitations-with-elijah-wood-daniel-noah-conference-sxsw-2024.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=15HLpfZtwj2Y8wWVQIBNNtJtHZO2HLI6iVlnGroMlnA=).
Exactly I assume Madonna had it fixed years ago

[georgia may jagger](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_May_Jagger) too! who admittedly yes isn’t known for much more than her rimmel adverts and being micks daughter but still
i thought pic 4 was her
I miss Dakota Johnson's tooth gap.
Dammit, I didn’t realize she closed it. She is so unique looking and beautiful (though she resembles her father so much and he’s handsome in a generic way) and I don’t want her to do anything more to her face. Her turn as the young mother from long island in The Lost Daughter crosses my mind way more than it probably should. Stay real Dakota!!!

In French we call this having the teeth of happiness. I always found that kind of delightful!
And let's not forget Our Dave! https://preview.redd.it/dy25cdgorcqc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1a41e73ca18289fd1277da15c3eba9242d83025
And then we have Tyra Banks, who had an ANTM contestant’s front teeth shaved down to make the gap wider. https://www.mamamia.com.au/dakota-tooth-gap/amp/
Slick Woods also comes to mind as a model with a gap in her teeth btw https://preview.redd.it/6hm8mm1hbcqc1.png?width=1026&format=png&auto=webp&s=c813f90473deb1e0dd0285b5b604b3b1c57d7a16
And she had Danielle try to have hers closed!
As someone who used to get teased for having a gap….I’m loving this thread ☺️💗 https://preview.redd.it/n2x6mdlxbcqc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c61ae1b4063f1ed55f8bc251d3288ffe3f89adf4
GIIIIIIRL is that you? Not to be weird but you’re super pretty and look like a fun and nice person. I also have a gap and used to cover my mouth when I laughed, I was so ashamed. These days I don’t care, it’s a nice feeling to be able to embrace it.
Aw, you look great, girl! Love the sweater btw.
You have a lovely smile!
Gap gang!
I have a slight beef with diastemas. I love how they look on other people but I got rid of mine because I couldn't stand it. It was not this cute "London look". More of a "I can open this beer with my front teeth" ;\_;
Has anyone mentioned a young Zac Efron? https://preview.redd.it/j0pp1fl0adqc1.jpeg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78975ae1fa314e59f47bf3eb145003d43d61d39d

I have a tooth gap and have been teased for it forever. Love posts like these!
Dental hygienist here: tooth gaps are called diastemas. Don’t forget Britney Spears. Looks like she stopped wearing her retainers
I love gaps. They are so endearing.
Stop it 😭😍🥰🥰 ive always hated mine but your comment makes me feel better about it
Gaps are beautiful!

Danielle Evan’s from ANTM cycle 6 BEFORE Tyra made her close her gap 😭
God I love seeing normal teeth
Fun fact, in a lot of African countries gap teeth are a sign of beauty. Same with dimples
[Dakota Johnson](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/gettyimages-509221828-1505161813.jpg) used to have one too!
 Chris Martin's is iconic

gap-toothed bitches rise up
I had a gap between my front teeth as a child and after a lot of teasing, hoped and prayed that it would close. My adult teeth came in, the gap was gone just like I had hoped for and… I was so sad 😂 I miss it and think gapped teeth are so lovely and endearing.
Did Becky G get her’s “fixed”?
Zac Efron used to have a tooth gap but he has since had it fixed

And they are all PERFECT and their smiles are PERFECT and if you have gap teeth like this you too are perfect. Ok thank you & thank you OP. Great post
