Get That Perfect Wedding Day Smile! 7 Ideas That Really Work
Just like getting the right dress for your wedding day, your teeth have to look their best, too. Here are some tips on getting that picture perfect smile:
- Get your teeth cleaned.
First thing to do is to get a professional dental cleaning. They should be clean and ready. Whitening through surgery can be done in one or two appointments but any issues regarding teeth and gum should be resolved first.
- Avoid teeth-staining food.
After getting whitening through surgery, avoid consumption of coffee, tea, red wine or cola. These can stain your newly whitened teeth.
- Eat food that naturally clean your teeth.
Basically, everything edible that can stain your dress can also stain your teeth. Eating crunchy vegetables like carrots and celery is advised. They mechanically remove the stain off your teeth as do sugar-free gum.
- Frame your teeth with your lips.
Another key to getting the perfect smile is framing the teeth. If the hair frames the face then the lips frames the teeth. The upper lip shouldn’t show too much gum tissue and the lower lips should just touch the edges of your upper teeth. That should frame the perfect smile.
- Discover your good angle!
It’s advisable to practice smiling in front of a mirror. Maybe your smile is better on your left. Discover where your good side is and see which angle is the best.
- Exfoliate your lips.
On the day before your wedding you should exfoliate your lips. According to, Sandy Linter, a New York makeup artist, “Use a soft electronic toothbrush to gently buff away dead skin. Then cover your mouth with a thick balm and sleep with it on overnight.”
- Keep your lips moisturized!
During your wedding day, keep your lips moisturized. Before taking a photo, run some water over your lips. It’ll help the flash of the camera give your lips a sparkle finish.
Brides and grooms alike want the perfect wedding day, and that means getting those pearly whites to look their best. By following these tips, you are assured of a smile that will shine in your wedding day photos when you look back on them years from now.
