So I really cannot deal with my smile. When I smile my "big" smile, both my top and bottom teeth show. It's not like most people's smiles. =_= I don't quite understand why it's this way, lol. I try to avoid smiling with teeth and stick to the closed-lip smile on camera. My friend seems to have a similar issue also. When she smiles big, only her bottom teeth show.

What does your smile look like? Do you feel self-conscious when you smile? I'm just curious as to how many people's teeth are weird like mines. Heh.


If anyone needs an example of what I'm talking about, I'll try my best to find some pictures. =)

EDIT:
I took a picture of [un]teethy smile. I don't want a huge picture of me slabbed onto this topic, so I'll just link it. Haha. Please excuse the bad quality of this picture; I only took it with a cell phone.

When there is metal in my mouth of course I am self-conscious!

[Honey.bee]

Maybe it's because you have a small teeth? Even though I smile big, I can only see a half of my top teeth, it's just like everyone else's.

I am very self-conscious about myself, sometimes, it bothers me.

[Vixy]

I never smile fully when my teeth shows, because from some of my facial features it seems that I'm faking a smile or that I am in a big pain because of trying to smile.

when I smile I look evil

[dancingbymyself]

I don't usually smile with my mouth open because my teeth are too straight.
That sounds good... but its actually really... because people always say something.
Like... i've actually been yelled at for not sharing my orthodontist... but I never went to one...
so it's like. Yea...

[daldonge]

show us a pic.

i think its cute to smile like tat!! well at least ur smiling for the camera! .. kimchiiii

[kanashii]

im the opposite, when i show teeth, you can only see my upper teeth

back then i was so consious of my teeth ( b/c i have slightly bigger front teeth than people)
i always smiled closed with closed lips

until people start telling i look pretty with my teeth showing

now i'm not that embarrased about my teeth anymore
and so should you!

[mango-iee]

My mouth is so wide when I laugh. ._.
It shows my full front row teeth and half of my gum too...it gets annoying.
But when I smile, it doesn't...^o^

[darksora145]

yeah i try not to smile cause my lips are kinda big >_>
so i try not to smile

[SlowPeppeR]

Haha. i used to smile only up until my 8th grade or so. from then, when I smile, I show my teeth. I don't mind my BIG smile at all.
sometimes I would smile so big, that both my upper and lower teeth are shown. sometimes I would smile with only the upper teeth showing.
Majority of my smiles are one and a half (upper teeth shown and half of lower teeth are shown). xD

I like to "vary" my teeth revealing smiles. xD

You shouldn't avoid your big smiles. it only tells people how much you're having fun and so on. =D

When I GRIN, my top teeth are shown, with a little bit of bottom.

Before I got my braces (and WHEN I had them, also) I would always close-mouth smile.

But now, I'm less conscious about it.

[A.lee]

noo
my friends all say i have perfect teeth but i have an overbite. (feels awkward when i smile cause my front 2 teeth are like over my bottom lip -.- makes me feel like i have bunny teeth >_>)
when i smile i can only see the top row of my teeth and it looks sorta like im forcing it out.

[twinkle_l0ve]

When I smile as in completely exposing my teeth, my face increases in size dramatically.. so I try avoid that
Though recently there's been a lot of photos of me smiling so my friends always comment like OMG! YOU HAVE TEETH!!!!

[puchaa]

i usually smile with my lips close because i have a small crooked teeth at the front that i'm planning to get it fix this year so i can smile for real!!

[vi.]

I have big ugly cracked red bleeding lips. ^^

When i smile, I have like, frikin 10 dimples to the point where I look overdosed off botox.

[imready]

i have a small mouth...
when i smile with or without teeth, it kinda feels tight.
i've tried smiling.. smaller? but i just cant.
i wish i had a bigger mouth.
oh and when i smile, you can only see my top teeth.

[qkrcjdfla]

when I smile my top teeth and a little part of my bottom teeth show
I'm not very self-conscious other than my nose spreads a lot when I smile big ><

When there is metal in my mouth of course I am self-conscious!

By "metal," you mean braces, right? I happen to think people with braces look really cute when they smile.
Ah, you just reminded me of a certain someone...

I don't usually smile with my mouth open because my teeth are too straight.

Sounds like you're bragging. Lol.

I want to reply to everyone's post, but then I'll have a useless post.
I might sound selfish, but I'm glad I'm not the only person with weird looking teeth. Hahaha.....

[prisonerzero]

I got my braces off yesterday and I'm still having issues with my smile because one, I still have ugly white and yellow marks on my teeth. And two, my front tooth is chipped, so it looks weird. Since I've gotten them off, my teeth also look much bigger than with the braces off, so I'm still insecure about it, although people tell me I have a very nice smile now.

I guess it'll just take me some getting used to. :3
