The technical name for it is Diastema. Sounds better than “gap toothed”.

"I'D HIT IT"!

But either way it makes fer good spitin’!

Another term for you to learn is DENTAL DYSPLASIA.

Believe it or not this is a genetically controlled condition ~ and if you've ever paid for a child's braces you can imagine what that's like because the minute everything is perfect and the braces come off the teeth go on about their business.

I've got a tooth that's taken about 50 years to do a total rotation ~ and yet it's still crooked ~ has its own axis!

“They seem to think it's sexy,” says Lan, a 40-something who works in sales. “Go figure. Instead of looking at my chest, they're looking at my teeth.”

Highly illogical. I wonder what is wrong with her chest.

I had mine bonded.

[mirkwood]

I will start brushing now.

[heartwood]

I used to be able to put a nickel between my front teeth - no one ever took it as sexy as far as I can recall...

A larger than normal frenulum is a typical cause...often requiring a frenectomy...

A frenectomy (also known as a frenulectomy or frenotomy) is the removal of a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far. It can refer to frenula in several places on the human body. It is related to frenuloplasty, a surgical alteration in a frenulum.

A frenectomy can also be performed to remove a section of tissue (the frenulum) that attached to the gingival tissue between two teeth.

You can get “teef” to rival these at Dr Bukk’s!

Now that sounds downright annoying!

[kimmie7]

And a darn unpleasant oral surgery procedure with which to assist.

I had mine bonded.

So if a client of your teeth files a complaint, they can recover money?

[kimmie7]

Yep...but only if the teeth have skipped town.

heh

“It’s possible that there is a link between the gene that produces a gap in the teeth and a factor directly affecting fertility. “

This poor woman has gapped teeth. She was unwilling to be photographed with such a deformity.

[Nea Wood]

How do they know if the runway models have gapped teeth? Every runway model I’ve ever seen had an angry, snooty look on her face and certainly wasn’t cracking a smile.

[mirkwood]

I would marry this gal.
