PERFECT SMILE

So how do you have a great smile? how do you maintain that smile? Babies are born knowing about smiles. we spend money to get that perfect smile.

1. Watch funny movies! So many studies show that smiling actually makes you feel happier. The act of smiling releases feel-good chemicals in your system. Conversely, the act of frowning releases stress hormones!! So actually smile occasionally, and it will affect your mood. If you watch something that gets you to honestly smile and have fun, all the better!

2. Do face exercises. If you rarely smile and then suddenly you do, your face will have to "stretch" into an unnatural position - so it will look like a grimace with the skin pulled tightly against your skull. That's not very attractive. If your skin is used to smiling (or at least stretching) then when you do smile it will look natural and full.

3.The teeth issue can be promoted or avoided, by having a smile that's open mouth or closed mouth. You can of course "work" on any teeth issues through teeth-whitening products, braces to straighten them out, and so on. Depending on how bad your teeth are and the industry you're in it may be very much to your advantage to pay the money to fix your teeth. It's hard to go through life with your mouth always closed! In the meantime, though, practicing a closed mouth smile can do wonders.

4.A closed mouth smile is great for all situations. It is perfect if your teeth are less than wonderful looking. It can be soft , wide and mysterious, friendly and just about anything else. It all depends on how widely you smile, how deep the smile is, how your eyes are, head and body angle.

5.With an open mouth smile, then general impression you are giving to the person you're with is that you are "energetically fun". It is an attitude of exuberance, of letting loose. If you look through movie posters, there is often a marked difference between the quiet smiles and the open happy smiles.

6.On a more cautious note, if you have really bad teeth, it might be best to go with a closed smile most of the time. That way you get the advantages of the smile without the off-putting reaction to your teeth. I'd also look into fixing them up, for health reasons! Bad teeth often lead to all sorts of mouth issues.
