Abstract: In this article we investigate regular curves whose derivatives have vanishing mean oscillations. We show that smoothing these curves using a standard mollifier one gets regular curves again. We apply this result to solve a couple of open problems. We show that curves with finite M"obius energy can be approximated by smooth curves in the energy space $W^{frac32,2}$ such that the energy converges which answers a question of He. Furthermore, we extend the result of Scholtes on the $Gamma$-convergence of the discrete M"obius energies towards the M"obius energy and prove conjectures of Ishizeki and Nagasawa on certain parts of a decomposition of the M"obius energy. Finally, we extend a theorem of Wu on inscribed polygons to curves with derivatives with vanishing mean oscillation
