Something People Spend Money to Close: Nigerians React to Video of Lady Creating Gap Teeth by Filing

• A video has surfaced on social media that captured the moment a lady was getting her teeth filed
• The end result sees the lady flaunting a gap-toothed dentition which appears to be the aim of the filing
• Several internet users have reacted to the video with mixed feelings over her decision to alter her dentition

A lady has become an internet sensation after a video captured the moment she got her teeth filed vertically to create a gap.

A diastema - or gap teeth as is popularly known - is a space or gap between two teeth. Many species of mammals have diastemata as a normal feature, most commonly between the incisors and molars.

The gaps are common for children and can exist in adult teeth as well. And while it is not a standard of beauty in places like the United States, it is considered a sign of beauty.
