The Derby Stallion was filmed in March-April 2004, so Zac was 16.

The gap between Zac's upper incisors was not corrected until just before he filmed HSM. Vanessa and Ashley have both mentioned that he still had the gap during the auditions for HSM.

I don't think this question has ever been addressed. He wore a removable brace for some time to reduce the gap. But when he was cast in HSM it was eliminated in a single procedure which he described as painful. I have always wondered whether the initiative for this decision came from the HSM producers or whether Zac decided to do it on his own.

i really think directors wanted to. i mean, if zac wanted to reduce the gap, he would've done it long time ago lol but at least now he has perfect set of teeth Smile

Probably. But either way, it had to be done. Zac was doing OK as a teen actor with the gap. But as a "leading man" with all the necessary close-ups, the gap would have been distracting. Luckily, it was corrected before he starred in a surprise hit, so the public never noticed the change.

I did think his gap was cute, but I'm glad he fixed it.
