The smile we like

So, the mouth can sometimes be the most dominant feature on the face, and it is the mouth that generates a smile.

Most people will agree that the ability to smile confidently is an important asset. Historically, there were many stories about 'a smile', how the presence or absence of it was of great significance.

Your smile, together with your lips and the rest of the face, conveys your personality, your emotions and your thoughts. So everybody is unique in his/her own way. More often than not, each individual has also formed a certain opinion or perception of what a beautiful smile should look like. A beautiful smile, is therefore, a very personal and subjective thing.

Your smile can indicate levels of vitality, confidence, happiness and general well-being. It can also significantly influence one's self-image and self-confidence. A beautiful smile is a particularly powerful communication tool in fostering goodwill and friendship. In many instances, a positive, bright and heart-felt smile can potentially improve one's personal and professional relationships.
