The gap in Britney Spears’ teeth spotted on Instagram probably isn’t a sign that she’s being cosplayed by someone else. Since she’s no longer as active in the industry as she used to be —although there are rumors that she’s going to make a big musical comeback at some point — it seems that she’s not just as invested in maintaining her iconic smile. An eagled-eyed Reddit user even noted the gap predates all the conspiracy theories. “Why are y’all all of a sudden noticing her teeth? They have been spaced since 2020, Maybe since 2019,” they wrote.
A dentist weighed in, suggesting the change might stem from years of forgoing general upkeep. “This is gum disease from decades of smoking and neglect. This causes bone loss and subsequent teeth shifting,” they explained. “Her case appears pretty severe, unfortunately. She’s definitely not taking care of herself, at least from an oral hygiene perspective.” Given Spears’ long period under conservatorship, however, the blame may not entirely fall on her shoulders.
Historically, Spears has long been a fan of cosmetic dental procedures. She even graced the dental bonding page of celebrity dentist Dr. Kevin Sands’ website, where it’s suggested that dental bonding, which is reversible, was used to perfect her smile. Dr. Sands even credits the singer with boosting his career, once revealing to W Magazine, “Britney Spears was one of my first patients. She just came here out of the blue.” Clearly, it might be time for a dental reunion!
