While we can't escape genetics, we can discourage behaviours like thumb-sucking to avoid creating a gap between the two front teeth.  Clinically, this is called "diastema" and depending on the cause, can be fixed by fitting crowns (if the teeth are genetically undersized), by wearing orthodontic devices to close the gap or by replacing any missing teeth.

A diastema is a space(gap) between two teeth.
The most common type of diastema is called a midline diastema, which is when the space is between the two front teeth.
It is often a result of genetics but can be caused by orthodontic habits in childhood or accidents.
It can affect both children and adults, but not every adult has had this gap since childhood.
It is more common in females than in males.
If you have midline diastema, you are in good company! Holistic Dentistry, Dental Bonding, Getting Braces, Gap Teeth, Straight Teeth, Front Teeth, Dental Veneers, Periodontal Disease, In Good Company
