Watch your lips
It's no secret that when you smile, it is your lips that attract the most attention. Therefore, it is very important that they are not chapped or bitten. Be sure to use lip moisturizers, and in winter regularly smear with balms or hygienic lipstick.
Don't forget to pay attention to your lip makeup. Try not to use too bright lipstick, especially if you have thin lips - otherwise they will visually become even thinner. It is better to choose products in natural colors, with shine. Products with menthol help to slightly enlarge lips and make them plumper and seductive.
Pay attention to your teeth
How to smile beautifully with teeth? The answer to this question lies primarily in the beauty of teeth. Your smile will be charming only if your teeth are even and snow-white. So treat all cavities and visit your dentist for a professional cleaning - once the plaque and tartar are removed, your teeth will definitely become whiter. And if this is not enough, then you can also whiten your teeth, for example, with a laser - this way they will definitely become significantly whiter.
If you want to become the owner of a truly snow-white smile, then you should definitely think about veneers - thin ceramic plates that completely cover the front teeth and hide all their defects. Many celebrity smiles are the result of using veneers or their thinner analogues - lumineers.
How much does it cost to create a perfect smile?
The cost of creating a perfect, Hollywood smile is always an individual question. If your teeth are healthy, have a beautiful and even shape, without fillings, and your bite is correct, the cost of acquiring an ideal smile will be minimal; it will be enough for you to undergo professional teeth cleaning and whitening procedures.
The costs of creating an ideal smile will increase if you need prosthetic crowns or orthodontic treatment. The price for creating a beautiful smile will depend on the technology of prosthetics and the technique of bite correction.
If you want to get the smile of your dreams with the help of veneers, then you should know that usually these microprostheses are placed on all teeth included in the smile area. That is, veneers will need to cover 7-8 teeth in the upper jaw and the same number in the lower jaw. The price of one ceramic veneer will start at 35 thousand rubles; lumineers will cost more because they are produced not in Russia, but in the USA.
To find out what the exact price of an ideal smile will be for you, you need to visit the clinic and undergo an examination by several specialists at once - a therapist, an orthopedist and an orthodontist. For a beautiful and bright smile, we invite you to our clinic in Moscow - “Aesthetica”!
Non-Hollywood smiles
Many of us strive for the perfect smile, but there are celebrities who don't seem to pay much attention to their smile:
Vanessa Paradis has such a disadvantage as a diastema - a gap between her front teeth. She has a very wide one, but at the same time, it was Vanessa who managed to make the diastema a “fashionable feature” - some even began to turn to dentists for an artificial gap.
Kirsten Dunst, the young star of Interview with the Vampire, did not need fake fangs during filming - she had her own just as well. And although this is clearly a malocclusion, the star still does not part with her “vampire” smile. However, in Japan this is even a trend, and Kristen’s fangs really suit her.
Johnny Depp clearly diligently disfigures his teeth - he wears metal crowns and gives himself grills, which are rarely worn by Hollywood stars. It looks very extravagant.
Keira Knightley's smile is quite ordinary, but you can't call it Hollywood. The actress goes to the dentist only for treatment and preventive cleaning, as she does not really like Hollywood smiles and believes that they lack individuality.
Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor with a very unusual appearance and very crooked teeth. However, his fans still love him, perhaps just for his extravagant appearance.

Parameters of an ideal smile
If you think that to create a perfect smile it is enough to have white, even, beautiful and healthy teeth - you are mistaken. The Hollywood smile has a number of parameters that the dentist working on its creation will take into account.
Let's briefly go through the existing modern standards that an ideal smile should meet:
- All horizontal lines must be parallel to each other. When creating a Hollywood smile, horizontal lines mean the lines of the eyes, lips, the line of the cutting edge of the front incisors, as well as an imaginary line between the cutting edges of the fangs;
- The size of the teeth should harmoniously decrease in the direction from the center to the edges and, moreover, the width and height of the teeth should also meet certain parameters, in addition, the teeth should be connected at specific points, and the edges of the teeth included in the upper dentition should have a certain bend. With an ideal smile, the upper lip almost completely covers the gum line of the teeth.
When creating a Hollywood smile, the dentist must take into account a lot of important points and, of course, carry out the work so that the new smile makes the person’s face younger, more attractive and more beautiful.

What can you do for a perfect smile? Treatment and aesthetics
Everyone has different ideas about beauty, but when it comes to a smile, there is one opinion: beautiful teeth are healthy, straight and white. Sometimes it happens that a small defect, for example, a diastema, does not spoil the appearance.
Healthy, straight and white – these are the main criteria for beautiful teeth
But what to do if you don’t like the appearance of your teeth? Uneven, small, the enamel is yellowish or unevenly colored, there are chips or there are no teeth at all. What program of dental procedures is needed in these cases? Let's figure it out.
And then there’s aesthetics
Aesthetic procedures include those that do not affect the functions of teeth, but simply make them attractive. Let's take a closer look at what you can do to improve the appearance of your teeth.
Artistic restoration
This includes masking small cracks, chips, and scratches in the enamel with filling material, if the tooth root is not damaged. Artistic restoration, or, as it is sometimes called, “extension,” is a good way to hide small defects for those who are satisfied with the natural color of the enamel. The color of the aesthetic filling is matched to the color of the remaining teeth, the filling looks natural. But it will no longer be possible to bleach it, so after such a restoration, bleaching is not recommended - the natural enamel will become lighter, and the filling may begin to stand out.
Whitening
If you like the shape of your teeth, there is no fluorosis or other stains on the enamel, but you want to lighten it, whitening is ideal. In a clinical setting, it is completely safe, since all drugs are certified, have been used for a long time and are well studied.
Whitening has virtually no risks; it is a simple and harmless procedure.
Installation of veneers
If the teeth are healthy, the bite is correct, but the patient does not like the natural shape of the teeth (for example, they are too small) or there are noticeable defects in the enamel, then installing veneers will be the solution.
The modern trend in installing veneers is a white, but natural shade and imitation of the texture of natural enamel, so that the teeth do not look “made.”
Veneers that are too white look unnatural
The size of the veneers is selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s appearance. By selecting the thickness of the plates, you can adjust the shape of the lips (veneers on the front incisors slightly raise the lips, but here it is important to observe the measure, otherwise the result will not be natural), and with the help of the form - the gum line.
There are generally accepted standards for the shape and proportions of veneers, but in each case the doctor selects them individually.
You can literally install from one piece, if this is justified, in order to hide some shortcomings. But the best results are obtained when veneers are installed over the entire smile area (10–12 teeth on top and the same number on the bottom).
Veneers are the best way to hide all dental imperfections
Consistently using all these technologies, anyone can get a perfect smile, regardless of the initial data.
Where to start working on creating the perfect smile?
If you dream of a beautiful Hollywood smile, like celebrities from the screen and covers of glossy publications, then the first thing you should do is cure your teeth from caries, restore those elements of the dentition that are severely damaged or completely absent.
If those teeth that are included in the smile area are destroyed by more than 50%, it would be more correct to restore them not by filling with a composite material, but by installing crowns. Severely damaged teeth will need to be filled with large fillings, which do not have a high-quality and reliable fixation and can break and fall out under stress. In most cases, fillings break and fall out along with part of the tooth, and if the root part is also damaged, then the tooth will have to be removed and then restored with implantation.
In addition, even fillings made from high-quality materials darken and sag over time. These changes negatively affect the aesthetics of the teeth and will be clearly visible on the front teeth that fall into the smile area.
Installing crowns will help avoid such problems and, moreover, will significantly improve the aesthetics of the dentition. After all, when making a crown for you, the dentist can give the structure a correct and beautiful shape that fits into the standards of an ideal smile.
To create a Hollywood and beautiful smile, it is recommended to install ceramic crowns, because crowns made of this material:
- They have a high level of aesthetics. In terms of transparency and light transmission, dental ceramics are as close as possible to natural tooth enamel. Thanks to these characteristics, ceramic crowns look natural;
- Ceramics have sufficient strength to flawlessly withstand the load that occurs when chewing food;
- By placing ceramic crowns on your teeth to achieve a Hollywood smile, you will not encounter problems such as bluish gums or the appearance of a dark line at the edge of the gums in contact with the crown. These problems arise when inexpensive metal-ceramic crowns are used in the restoration of teeth in the smile area.
Naturally, before you begin dental treatment, in order to get a beautiful smile, you must undergo the procedure of oral sanitation and whitening. Beautiful teeth cannot be yellow and covered with plaque and tartar; in addition, sanitation and whitening will help you see the true shade of your enamel and choose the right materials for fillings and crowns.
Correcting an Ugly Smile in One Visit
A 16-year-old female patient complained of an unattractive smile that made her appear older because her teeth appeared discolored.

Clinical examination revealed a decreased smile line, hypocalcification and discoloration of the upper central incisors, an asymmetrical gingival margin, and uneven incisal edges. Although orthodontic treatment would have had a better effect, the patient demanded faster results.
We planned a minimally invasive approach to both surgical and dental treatment. As members and friends of Style Italiano, we would like to share our experience with resin infiltration technology using ICON.
ICON is the name of the resin infiltrate produced by DMG. With increasing aesthetic demands, patients need options for the most effective treatment methods. Today, fluorosis spots are a frequent reason for consultations in aesthetic dentistry. These spots, which are white or brown in the most severe cases, may be due to physical problems. I will share the treatment of certain white spots of erosion using a conservative technique.
The purpose of this article is to show that we can improve smiles, even in difficult cases, in a short period of time without damaging healthy tissue.
Rice. 1. Initial situation. Pay attention to the low smile line, discoloration of the teeth, and asymmetry of the incisor edge. All this becomes very noticeable when the patient smiles.

The signature Hollywood smile that every celebrity is proud of doesn’t come easily...
The Hollywood standard is, first of all, flawless and dazzling white teeth. However, there are stars for whom they leave much to be desired, which did not prevent them from achieving heights in their profession.
Vanessa Paradis. "Highlight"
Vanessa Paradis
Actress and singer Vanessa Paradis is not ashamed of her signature gap - scientifically, a diastema - between her front teeth; on the contrary, she seems to be proud of it, considering it the highlight of her appearance. How else can we explain the fact that Vanessa draws attention to her teeth by choosing a bright lipstick - most often scarlet or red - in color.
The public is divided into two camps regarding Paradis’s gap: the first are surprised why Vanessa, who does not suffer from a lack of money, cannot get “normal teeth” for herself, the second admire them and ask dentists to give them a smile “like Paradis’s.” As for the fashion industry, it seems to be on the side of the actress: in 2011, at Paris Fashion Week, the House of Chanel, together with the Colette boutique, released a series of brooches in the form of Vanessa’s parted lips, demonstrating her diastema in all its glory.
Kirsten Dunst. "I love imperfections"
Kirsten Dunst
As a child, Kirsten Dunst categorically refused to wear braces and, as a result, grew real vampire fangs, which allowed her to play the “child and rampaging killer” Claudia in Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire without a false jaw. Sofia Coppola is also a fan of Kirsten’s “wrong” teeth, who starred her in her film “The Fatal Temptation,” which premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. “Don’t even think about fixing your teeth,” Coppola told the actress, “they are your personality.”

True, not all directors are delighted with her teeth. When Dunst was filming Spider-Man, the producers demanded that she fix her teeth and even painted her a perfect smile on the movie poster, but the actress refused. “I’ve been asked many times,” she says, “why I don’t want to do anything about my teeth. And I just love imperfections. Besides, I don’t want to meet the standards of the “dream factory,” where everything is smooth and perfect. People look at the characters in the films and suffer because they cannot meet their criteria, because not everyone understands that beauty in Hollywood is the result of the work of make-up artists and retouchers.”
Benedict Cumberbatch. At random
Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley
One can argue endlessly about Benedict Cumberbatch's external characteristics: the actor himself considers himself far from handsome and sometimes even allows himself to say that he looks like an otter, while his fans - and especially female fans - are sure: perhaps he is not handsome, but damn charming. A special feature is the actor’s teeth: they are located unevenly, as people say, at random, this is especially true for the lower jaw, and this is clearly visible when Big Ben smiles.
Kate Middleton. "Ugly smile"
The Duchess of Cambridge with Prince Louis
What can we say about Cumberbatch, if just recently the teeth of even such a style icon as Kate Middleton were criticized on the Internet. No, of course, she did not suffer from caries, but the Duchess of Cambridge’s lower teeth were uneven in places, and her bite was incorrect, which is why her chin protruded slightly forward. They say that it was for this reason that the gold coins that were issued on the occasion of her wedding to Prince William failed to sell - buyers felt that Kate was depicted there with an “ugly smile.”

Apparently, the duchess was tired of ridicule, because not long ago she surrendered herself to the famous French dentist Didier Fillion. He is famous for the fact that, thanks to his own “microrotation” method, he makes teeth beautiful, but natural, without Hollywood whiteness and artificiality.
Kate Moss. “How can you live with teeth like that?”
Kate Moss
The fact that Kate Moss abused alcohol and drugs is a well-known fact, but the model’s teeth were damaged not because of this, but because of her addiction to smoking. However, nicotine turned them gray, but she had them small and uneven from birth, which is what haters constantly remind her of. “It would be better if she didn’t smile at all,” Kate’s “well-wishers” write on the Internet, “she urgently needs to see a dentist - how can you live with such teeth?” But it seems that other people’s opinions about her appearance did not bother Moss before, when she became a successful model, and does not bother her now, when, despite everything, she continues to sign multimillion-dollar advertising contracts and appear in glossy magazines.
Katy Perry. "Poison for appearance"
Katy Perry
American singer Katy Perry is aware that her lower teeth are far from ideal - moreover, in an interview she calls them... “rocky mountains.” “My teeth,” Perry admitted in an interview, “are poison for my appearance, they spoil my beauty. They are crooked, but I would like them to be flawless.” At the same time, Katie is not going to correct the situation, since, in her opinion, only children wear braces, and she is definitely not going to replace perfectly healthy teeth with crowns.

Keira Knightley. Maximum naturalness
Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley, like a true Briton, believes that teeth should be as natural as possible - in other words: what grows, grows. The actress’s hair is strong and healthy, but uneven and not snow-white, which is impossible to hide, although Knightley does not try to do so. “Each smile is individual,” the actress says in an interview, “and I don’t want to be like the Hollywood beauties with the same teeth, like from an incubator.” Well, Kira is right in many ways - after all, it is thanks to her imperfect smile as a beautiful hooligan that she gets roles that, if she had straightened her teeth, would probably have passed her by.
Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, Anna Paquin, Charlie Sheen, Michael Strahan, Ashley Smith, Matthew Lewis, Karl Lagerfeld and also cannot boast of good teeth .

How to get a perfect smile in a photo: 8 life hacks
Since then, Beckham, although she has fixed her teeth, smiles very rarely, because the residue remains, and she doesn’t want to become the subject of jokes.
Photographers and gloss industry experts say that the beauty of your teeth, of course, matters, but what matters most is how you smile, because you need to be able to pose your face.
Look at the stars in the selections from gossip columns: as soon as they come under camera flashes, they fix their faces in a certain way, their micro-expressions are rehearsed in front of the mirror and have been perfected for a long time. As a result, celebrities look very good in photos.
Achieving that million-dollar smile in a photo is not so difficult, the main thing is to follow a few rules and rehearse a little in front of the mirror. And then you will look like a Hollywood star, even in a group photo with colleagues from the accounting department.
Say "Hey"
Glossy photographers say that Linda Evangelista always shouted, “Hey,” before getting into the frame. Her smile ended up looking like a million. What is the reason?
Very often, when trying to pose in front of the camera, girls purse their lips and tense their muscles, trying to achieve what they think is an inviting sexual pose. But it turns out exactly the opposite. As a result, the face in the frame looks as if you have been suffering from constipation for several days.
Linda's trick allows you to relax your facial muscles and smile naturally.
Another trick is to laugh before taking photos. The muscles of the mouth will be fixed in the correct position, and the image will look positive.
What kind of smiles are there?
Duchenne's smile
The first steps towards deciphering this multi-purpose expression were taken by the 19th century neurologist Duchesne de Boulogne. He was the son of a French pirate and had a penchant for electrocuting his patients—and became, among other things, the founder of electrotherapy. Duchenne was interested in the mechanics of facial expressions, including how the facial muscles contract to produce a smile. The best way to study this, he decided, was to attach electrodes to a person's face and make their muscles move.
This procedure was so painful that at first Duchesne could only experiment on the freshly severed heads of revolutionaries. Then one day, purely by chance, he met a middle-aged man with facial insensibility in a Paris hospital - that is, he found his guinea pig among people.
In total, Duchesne discovered 60 facial expressions, each involving its own group of facial muscles, and depicted them in a series of gruesome photographs. In the most famous of them, the face of the unfortunate man is distorted by a wide toothless smile. He looks like a happy idiot, with his cheeks lifted and crow's feet around his eyes.
This smile became known as the "Duchenne smile" and became associated with genuine feelings of joy and giddy happiness. This smile is long and tense, although it is associated with the contraction of only two muscles. First, the zygomaticus major muscle, which is located in the cheek, tightens the corners of the mouth, and then the orbicularis oculi muscle, which surrounds the eye, leads to the characteristic wink.
This smile is long and tense, although it is associated with the contraction of only two muscles.
But here's the rub. "In some places in the world, the perception of a genuine smile does not seem to depend on the presence of crow's feet near the eyes," says Niedenthal.
Which brings us to a question that has puzzled scientists for more than a century, from Darwin to Freud: Are our expressions instinctive and universal, or dependent on the culture into which we are born?
Smile of fright
One of the clues comes from our closest relatives. Although the Duchenne smile may seem most natural today, some scholars believe it may have originated from an expression with a completely different meaning. "When bonobo chimpanzees are afraid, they bare their teeth and pull their lips back to expose their gums," says Zanna Clay, a primatologist at the University of Birmingham.
The barely-toothed smile is often shown on greeting cards, but among chimpanzees it is a submissive gesture used by low-status individuals to appease dominant members of the group. Clay cites the example of a popular video of a chimpanzee stealing a rock. “She steals a rock and then shows a big, cheeky smile. She looks like she's laughing, but she's probably nervous," Clay says.
Although we don't tend to associate smiling with fear in people, there are some hints that smiling may be caused by fear. In babies, a wide smile can mean they are happy or worried, and studies have shown that men tend to smile more among those perceived to be of higher status.
Darwin believed that facial expressions were instinctive, originally developed to serve practical functions. For example, raised eyebrows increase the field of vision, which may have helped our ancestors detect predator ambushes in time. In chimpanzees, a fearful smile shows that the teeth come together tightly, as if to show that they are not going to bite anyone.
To prove his point, Darwin conducted an experiment at his home in Down, a quiet village near London. He took 11 photographs of Duchenne—they corresponded regularly—and asked 20 of his guests to guess what emotions they represented. They unanimously identified happiness, fear, sadness and surprise, among others, and Darwin concluded that these expressions were universal.
Sad smile
We now know that smiling is indeed instinctive, but not only when we are happy. A "sad smile" is a stoic expression of a martyr's smile - a slight, asymmetrical smile with an expression of deep sadness on top of it.
Since Landis conducted his classic study, psychologists have found this tell-tale smile on the faces of those watching sad movies - filmed with a hidden camera - and among patients with depression. This is a socially acceptable way to show that you are sad or hurt.
For decades, psychologists believed that this controversial habit was unlearned, but in 2009, a team of scientists from the University of San Francisco found clear indications that, no, smiling is hardwired into our DNA.
After analyzing more than 4,800 photographs of athletes who competed in the Athens Summer Olympics, they found that silver medalists who lost their final matches tended to smile like this, even if they were born blind.
Suppressed Smile
However, things are even more complicated. It turned out that a sincere, happy smile was not always welcomed as much as it is today. Back in 17th century Europe, open display of emotions was considered bad manners. Only the poor smiled, showing off their teeth. The "Smile Revolution" finally began more than a century later in Paris, started by French nobles who had such a good time in the newly opened coffee shops that they brought the smile back into fashion.
In many parts of the world this change in etiquette never occurred. A Russian proverb says that laughing for no reason is a sign of foolishness, and a government leaflet about working in Norway warns that you've been in the country too long if you think smiling strangers are drunk, mad or American.
Repressed smiling is a way to control automatic, happy smiling that is available to us because some muscles are easier to suppress than others. “The cheeks will be raised, but the corners of the mouth will be pulled down, and the lips will be pressed together in an 'I'm not supposed to smile' way,” says Zara Ambadara, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh.
This is thought to explain why in Japan, where etiquette dictates that emotions should be suppressed in public, more emphasis is placed on smiling with the eyes. Pushed to the limit, such a smile from
