Les Blank's love letter to women with a space between their front teeth. He put out an ad for gap-toothed women in a local newspaper and asked about their experiences. It's a real feel good documentary about beauty standards and loving yourself<3 and also how orthodontists suck

Growing up, I was sometimes ashamed of my gap. Now I find it to be one of my sexiest qualities. I’m so thankful my parents never pressured me into getting braces (also thankful for the documentary Gap-Toothed Women (1987) that helped pave the way against whatever lingering stigma). I know I can’t “recommend” you get gap teeth, because, obviously, you either have them or you don’t. But, there was a kid I went to middle school with who would put a paperclip in between their front teeth everyday to DIY their own gap. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself enough…

fellow retainer forgetting tooth gapper here, let your teeth do their thing! people find tooth gaps endearing, perfect teeth are a myth just show off whatever teeth your mama put in your mouth

the epidemic of celebrities getting awful veneers is so chilling. let people have slightly imperfect teeth! a gap! a sweet snaggletooth!
my two front teeth are veneers from busting out my adult teeth in a razor scooter accident, and the process to get them is so unpleasant. i got them in high school. i used to have a tooth gap which my dentist told me i should close so i wasn’t “insecure” and i, at 16, listened to him.
i miss my gap. im so glad when we all get to look like people and don’t have shiny piano keys for teeth. don’t even get me started on how distracting they are during movies

no need to worry about the mess bc u just wash it right away!
someone or maybe the internet recommended eating a cold orange or other citrus in a hot shower and I can confirm that is also a great sensory experience
