In medical terminologies, this gap between teeth is known as “diastema”, which isn’t a flaw, it’s a normal feature that commonly occurs between the incisors and molars and is primarily caused by the imbalanced relationship of the jaw and the size of the teeth.
In humans, the term is most commonly applied to an open space between the upper incisors (front teeth), which is usually called the ‘gap tooth’ or ‘the lucky gap’.
There are lots of people who do not like this Gap between teeth and spend a huge amount of money on dental care trying to cover it. Though astrology, palmistry, face reading, everything concludes it as a characterisation of being lucky.
