I think it’s safe to say that Twitter is easily amused, right?
And if you thought that they wouldn’t care about Dakota Johnson closing the gap in her teeth, well, you’d be very wrong.

We all know and love Dakota Johnson after she made that brief cameo in “The Office”.
She really crushed that role.
Kidding. Obviously, we all know her from the forever iconic “Fifty Shades of Grey” Series.
Very few actresses would have been able to capture the essence that was Anastasia Steele like Dakota.
Now most of you probably never even noticed that Dakota has a tiny gap between her two front teeth.
Crazy, right?
Maybe it’s because she always smiles with her mouth closed.
Or maybe it’s because you can’t be bothered to pay attention to celebrity’s teeth.
And I mean, fair enough.
But Twitter clearly pays attention, and immediately noticed when Dakota decided to close her gap.
And let me tell you, they had reactions .
Who knew that so many people felt very attached to Dakota’s gap?
Speaking as someone with a gap, I like to think that my own friends would care this much if I closed it.
RIP to the gap.
Am I the only one wondering why she closed it so late in her career?
I mean, we love the gap, but if she wanted it closed, why not do it before the Fifty Shades movies took off?
She looks great either way.
And if closing the gap is what makes her feel confident, then more power to you, Dakota!
It looks like she may not have done it on purpose.
I know what you’re thinking — “yeah, she accidentally got dental surgery, right ,” but it’s actually a pretty believable story when you hear her tell it.
That’s right, you can hear it directly from the mouth in question.
Dakota herself was asked about this when she sat down with Jimmy Fallon to promote the premiere of The Peanut Butter Falcon.
“Everyone’s brokenhearted the gap in your teeth is not there anymore,” Fallon said right at the start.
“There have been some headlines about you the past couple days, do you know what I’m talking about?” Fallon asked her, going right for the jugular of this incredibly important issue.
“Yeah, it’s been stressing me out,” Dakota answered, laughing.
“First of all, the fact that this is a newsworthy event in our world right now is pretty Chaka Khan to me,” Dakota joked.
“I had a permanent retainer since I was like thirteen,” Dakota explained.
Dakota explained that she was having neck pain issues so her orthodontist suggested removing the retainer to see if her jaw would expand and accommodate the neck pain.
“My gap closed by itself, and I’m really sad about it too.”
Dakota explained that she has to deal with a whole new world of problems, like getting food stuck in her teeth, since before it would just “slide right through.”
“I’m sad about my gap tooth too, so I’d really appreciate some privacy at this time.”
Dakota also joked that she’d put in a new retainer to get her gap back again afterwards to try to deal with the loss.
It looks like Dakota’s as upset as the rest of us about the loss of Gappy, but we’re sending her love and support at this trying time.
