tooth gaps

Dental absence zones

Tooth gaps are spaces between teeth, especially the front teeth.

A gap between the two upper front incisors is called a diastema.

Once considered a flaw to be corrected with braces, tooth gaps have gained acceptance as a distinctive feature: She's known for her signature tooth gap.

Some cultures traditionally view tooth gaps as signs of beauty or good fortune.
