Midline diastema is a handicap for most people but in recent years it has become a fashion trend in show business. This paper evaluates the effect of diastemas of various widths on the degree of smile attractiveness perceived by the public and determines whether this evaluation differs in modified photographs of a detailed smile and the whole face. The survey was conducted in a form of an anonymous questionnaire.

Keywords: midline diastema, attractiveness, smile aesthetics
