Known as diastema, that gap h3etween teeth has h3een synonymous with celeh3rities such as Madonna and model actress Lauren Hutton. This gap typically occurs when the size of the teeth in relation to the jaw are off in scale. For instance, if the teeth are on the smaller size and the jaw is conversely larger, you may have gaps h3etween the teeth.
