Dakota Johnson Explains Her Missing Tooth Gap

After years of being a gorgeous fixture of Dakota Johnson's smile, I regret to inform you the tooth-gap is gone, my friends. And because nothing gets past Twitter, everyone noticed when Dakota attended a film screening with no gap to be found. People were fully spiraling because of the news and were left out in the dark, wondering why she would do such a thing. Thankfully, she explained everything last night.

Sitting down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Dakota went into great detail about Gapgate 2K19 and how funny it is that people are so distressed about this, considering everything else that’s going on in the world. She has a point, but the public is upset about it nonetheless! And she’s here to provide some closure for the tooth-gap stans.

You see, it all started with a permanent retainer that she’s had in her mouth since she was a kid. It also had everything to do with some neck pain she was experiencing. She explained, “I was having a lot of neck problems recently, so my orthodontist decided that it would be a good idea to take it off and see if my jaw expanded. It helped me, and my gap closed by itself, and I’m really sad about it too.” Okay, at least we’re all on the same page here, I guess.

She also revealed the “whole new world of problems” that has presented itself since her two front teeth closed in on each other. She keeps getting food stuck in her teeth now! “Before, it would just slide right through,” she said. Damn, that sucks.
