      Let me start by saying “beauty lies in the hands of the beholder” as wahenga said 😀.

      Some people may consider a gap in incisors teeth (two upper front teeth) in the upper jaw as beauty as it enhances someone’s smile, makes them unique and may also be considered as a sign of luck in some African countries.

      However, multiple gaps in teeth is considered a dental imperfection by some people and this can be caused by delays in eruption of teeth or mismatched jaw and teeth size. As you may have seen, some people get braces to correct this.
