I remember the exact moment I decided to stop smiling with my teeth. I took a gorgeous selfie with my bestie — back before "selfie" was even a word, when you posed in front of a digital camera bought off of Amazon for $10 that was balancing precariously on a shelf and waited for the timer to flash — with my mouth drawn up in a perfect pouty smile. I’m kind of surprised, looking back, at how I managed to be so vain in an era before Instagram or front-facing cameras. But there I was, age 17, vowing to never smile with my teeth again.
I’ve only ever had a brief period where I even liked my teeth to begin with — when I first had my braces off and I was actually interested in wearing my retainer. Now they’re a bit crooked, a bit yellow (from cigarettes and coffee) and I wish I could afford to get a veneer on my least favorite one. I wish I could afford to buy myself a perfect smile in general — the benefits are never ending! But it’s weird to me how much I judge myself for traits I adore in others — personally, I think wonky, non-perfect teeth are super cute! Just never on myself. With my graduation from university fast approaching (my graduation photo from university fast approaching) and the fact I’m definitely more cute twentysomething now than edgy teen, I’ve decided to pursue how to achieve a smile-with-teeth that I’m comfortable and happy with. Not just that, though. It needs to look fabulous to match the amazing graduation outfit I’ve already planned four months in advance. What interests me the most about smiling with your teeth is whether the look is one that can only be captured candidly (a possible explanation for why posing with your mouth open looks so weird in pictures) or whether it is a skill that can be learned. Can you only achieve a good grin when you have a perfect, store bought, Hollywood smile, or can the imperfect wonky teeth that I love achieve the same effect? Will it all just come down to the fact I’m too harsh on my own too-large, too-gummy smile? Before I had even finished Googling "how to smile with teeth," the internet proved that my search was one that had already been hounded by many before me. Not just that, but brace wearers, previous brace wearers and bad teeth aficionados, had been the main culprits of trying to solve the riddle of smiling-with-teeth. For reasons unknown to myself, WebMD is the first hit when searching for how to smile with your teeth. I don’t really understand why WebMD has compiled a list of "6 Tips for a Photogenic Smile" or the medical credibility behind it, but a lot of the tips turned out to be kind of helpful! My personal favorite tip: Work With What You Have. You don’t need perfect teeth to have a camera-ready smile. So maybe my stereotypically British teeth won’t stop me in my search for my perfect smile!
