My wife has a significant gap between her front teeth, simply because her family couldn't afford braces when she was younger. It certainly doesn't bother me one bit, although she dislikes it.

I'm the same way. My parents didn't care very much for doing anything for us. My sister and me both had gaps in our teeth. Her husband is helping her pay for braces.
Me, on the other hand, I have no husband and can't afford them.
My teeth are clean and white, just that one fvcking gap that drives me insane.

This girl I used to work with had such a big gap in her teeth she could have blown with her teeth clenched. No-not attractive.

I got a good one.... nobody has ever complained, and I would never have it repaired. Too much work and perment wires etc. Thats a joke for simply being vain.
If you have the wit and charm of Dave Letterman it's really not an issue.
maybe thats why ;)

yes, gaps are unsightly...and very unnatractive.
My best friend has one, and had to get it fixed it was so bad
she was embarrassed to smile.

There's this commercial around here (New York) for some college or trade school or something...(local, I think) that features this woman with a gap you could park a bus between :(. Very unattractive, IMO. A small gap isn't really a big deal though.

Insecurity over your teeth?

Few years back Laetitia Casta was touted as the epitome of millions of years of evolution...world's most beautiful babe.

Did you ever see her teeth? Her two top front teeth are all crooked & twisted. During her run of photogenic fame she didn't care at all.

Let go of that worry. Probably you're the only person who ever thinks of it.

Um, I think a gap between the upper, center teeth can be interesting and/ or sexy. Check out Madonna's dental work, it looks like she's had the gap between her upper, front teeth slightly enhanced for a bit of distinctiveness. But if you don't like your teeth, you could always think about braces, veneers, bleeching, etc. I spose.
