Famous artists like Brigitte Bardot, Georgia Jagger, Vanessa Paradis, or Madonna share a common feature in their smiles, called diastema (gap teeth), which is the gap between the upper front teeth.

What happens if someone without gap teeth decides to get this surgery?

Dentistry and orthodontics specialists advise against it, although many people have recently been visiting clinics asking to have their teeth separated.

Why have gap teeth become a trend?

The goal of having your teeth separated is to achieve a more youthful look, since that trait is typical of adolescence.

And doesn’t it have complications?

Specialists also warn that the surgery can cause neck discomfort, headaches, and even scoliosis.

Additionally, during this procedure, the muscles of the face and neck pull more on one side than the other, which affects the hips, knees, and ankles. The entire muscular system is thrown off balance, causing joint discomfort.

Is diastema the only trend currently popular in the world of orthodontics?

Another trend that is very popular in Japan is yaeba, leaving the teeth crooked or crowded, which specialists consider a real atrocity.

In the fashion world, models with gap teeth have recently been in demand, and this look can be achieved with certain orthodontic techniques that make the process reversible. Either way, this practice is neither advisable nor healthy.
