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.
Brigitte Bardot
It is worth noting that Vanessa Paradis is not the first celebrity from France to turn a gap in her teeth into a remarkable highlight of her appearance. The singer and fashion model Brigitte Bardot, who became famous all over the world thanks to her numerous film works, won the hearts of men with her admirable, languid smile. By the way, the charm of the latter was given by a remarkable gap, which the star decided not to touch.

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.
Woody Harrelson
Like his Hollywood colleague, Woody Harrelson is also distinguished by his characteristic appearance, not the least of which is a “dental anomaly” in the form of a spacious gap between the actor’s central incisors. However, the artist is not going to please dentists by asking for help in correcting the existing defect, not pursuing external beauty and preferring to leave everything as before.
And, it is worth admitting, this gap does not spoil Harrelson at all - it only gives his smile additional charm and kind naivety.

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.
Star gaps: a piquant detail or an ugly little thing?
A natural dental defect called a diastema is a fairly common occurrence among celebrities. Many people call the gap between the front teeth terrible, but, in fact, there is nothing terrible about a gap. In some cases, the gap can even be called a certain “highlight” of the star, which makes the celebrity with the defect special and stands out from the rest.
Diastema is an abnormal position of the teeth. Diastema is the space (gap) between the central incisors. Diastemas occur in approximately 20% of people, most often on the upper jaw.
The first on our list of modern celebrities with a gap is the French 38-year-old actress, singer and fashion model Vanessa Paradis
. Despite her defect, Vanessa was able to charm the handsome Johnny Depp and become a real idol in her homeland. I absolutely cannot imagine Vanessa without this gap between her front teeth, although to be honest, it is really too large, as if there should be another tooth in place of this gap.
Next on the list is Madonna
, which is also impossible to imagine without a gap.
Echoes his mother and Lourdes Leon
– Madonna’s daughter, who inherited a gap between her teeth from her eminent mother. True, Lourdes did not consider her gap to be a piquant feature and hastened to get rid of it with the help of braces. Now this starlet has perfect teeth without any flaws.
This singer definitely cannot be called a beauty, not so much because of her gap, but because of her sloppy appearance. Amy Winehouse
She hasn’t given a damn about stereotypes and principles of good behavior for a long time, so the fact that she doesn’t particularly care about the gap is not at all surprising.
, Jane Birkin, also has an imperfect smile.
, who always considered the gap to be a “funny little thing.”
In photographs of an older Jane, the gap stands out much better.
Never parted with gappy Lauren Hutton
, although this woman was always advised to eliminate this minor error of nature. Lauren did not find the advice useful and did not get rid of her diastema, which, by the way, is considered a symbol of female beauty among many African tribes.
This list also includes the symbol of the beauty of Europe of yesteryear – Brigitte Bardot.
, therefore, not only in African tribes, a diastema is considered an excellent addition to one’s appearance. Brigitte's gap is not as pronounced as the others, but it still exists.
Star of the TV series "True Blood" - Anna Paquin
is in no hurry to get rid of the diastema, because if not for this defect she would not be recognized at all.
Shannon Doherty
, who was once one of the girls' favorite Charmed girls, also has a gap between her front teeth, although I never noticed it. It exists and it is by no means small.
Moreover, young, promising, stylish stars also have a gap. For example, the dark-haired star of the series “Gossip Girl” Jessica Szohr
.
But not only star women have a funny gap, since among men there are quite a lot of its owners who are not at all embarrassed by its presence. Among the male half, it is worth noting the idol of fans of the series “Gossip Girl” Ed Westwick
…
the idol of all gays on the planet Elton John
…
the idol of laughers Eddie Murphy
…
the idol of fans of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Elijah Wood
…
the idol of one of the highest paid models in the world, Heidi Klum, singer Seal
…
as well as the idol of action movie connoisseurs Samuel L. Jackson
.
In the modeling business, as in the acting and musical environments, the need for unusual, memorable faces is also growing. An imperfect smile that many people envy can boast of:
gorgeous Lara Stone
…
charming Georgia May Jagger
…
pretty Abbey Lee Kershaw
…
smiling Jessica Hart
…
as well as the unusual Ashley Smith
, whose gap is the most prominent.
Meanwhile, the fashion for naturalness and a memorable, spectacular, unusual appearance, albeit with obvious shortcomings, is gaining more and more success in show business. Not long ago, Johnny Depp, who has naturally straight and quite beautiful teeth, was deliberately given an intricate gap for the role of the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's film Alice in Wonderland. According to many, Johnny himself wanted to give his character such a gap in order to confirm that the diastema of his common-law wife Vanessa Paradis does not bother him at all.
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.”
Willem Dafoe
The smile of Hollywood actor Willem Dafoe is also remarkable - the presence of a noticeable gap and, in principle, sparse teeth only complement the characteristic and slightly frightening appearance of the artist. And Defoe himself just chuckles, because such a unique appearance makes this person unique and inimitable in the cinematic environment. So the star is in no hurry to correct the defect in her own jaw.
Moreover, Willem Dafoe even starred in Grigory Dobrygin’s short film “The Gap,” which was actually dedicated to the main feature of the star’s smile with a gap between his teeth.

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.
Kate Middleton

The Duchess of Cambridge is adored all over the world, although her appearance is far from the generally accepted ideal. Kate Middleton has an overbite that causes her chin to protrude. The duchess did not dare to undergo serious interventions, but experts say that Prince William’s wife probably had veneers.
Masha Tsigal
Masha was born into a legendary family. She received her education at a British university. I always tried to emphasize that I achieved success on my own. 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.”
Individual question
The so-called “shcherbinka” is of two types: true and false. The first is the one that lasts a lifetime. The second – which disappears when milk teeth are replaced with molars. The main reasons for the formation of diastema:
- heredity;
- congenital adentia (absence of one or more teeth);
- incorrectly placed and secured bridle;
- late change of milk teeth to permanent ones;
- large bony septum;
- abnormal shape of incisors;
- bad habits (for example, the habit of biting nails).
In some cases, a cleft between the front teeth does not cause discomfort and is a kind of calling card of a person. The next paragraph of this article is proof of this.
Lena Temnikova
Elena Temnikova is a famous singer, a former member of the group “Serebro” and the famous show “Star Factory 2”. The singer is not shy about her gap and always takes great pleasure in showing off her smile to photographers. As a child, parents tried to force the girl to wear records to correct the defect. But Lena made a different decision. The record was rejected, and the gap became the singer’s “trick”.
Diastema - how to remove the gap between teeth?
A large, untreated diastema is a much more serious problem that goes far beyond aesthetic issues. This can cause periodontal disease, problems with your bite and poor pronunciation. In cosmetic dentistry, much attention is paid to symmetry, which is an indicator of not only attractive appearance, but also health. Correct positioning of teeth promotes even distribution of chewing forces and a healthy bite. Eliminating diastema with an orthodontist is not a problem. On average, treatment of such a defect can take about a year. In addition, it is possible to eliminate more of the diastema
“Depending on the case, we can decide, for example, to fill the gap with a composite material, disguise it with porcelain veneers, as well as orthodontic treatment. In this case, we have a choice of classic fixed appliances that gradually put pressure on the teeth and close the space. The use of transparent overlay braces, for example, Invisalign, also gives good results, with the help of which you can get rid of defects even in 7-8 months. When the source of the diastema is a frenulum defect, we can trim it. The procedure is simple and is performed under general anesthesia. –
provided by the dentist.
If we are dealing with a small gap between the teeth , a good way to get rid of this connection is. The latter is definitely an investment that will last for years (though this also depends on the material the pads are made from).
