“I love your teeth. Are you from England, right? ” Charlotte Le Bon is asking Aimee Lou Wood’s co-star in an early episode of this season “The White Lotus”.
Mrs Wood’s smile is wide, beautiful and something innovation these days – both between her castmates and in a wider sea of actors with a straight, uniformly separated teeth that will obviously be subjected to submission from orthodontic or cosmetic modification.
The line, which Ms. Le Bon improvisesproved to be a prediction.
Online, viewers of the demonstration have also begun to praise Mrs. Wood, which is indeed from England, to choose to keep her natural smile. Praise also raised a question: When did everyone teeth become so perfect?
Emma Dickson, 30, said she felt “comfortable”, seeing Ms Wood on the screen.
Like Mrs. Wood, Ms. Dickson has a gap between her front teeth. As an actress and medical aesthetic, Ms Dickson, who lives in Chicago, said she was very familiar with the pressure to have perfect pearls. Described the veneer style That is so omnipresent in Hollywood as “a smile of copies and invoices”, and said it was sad when celebrities with teeth resembling her own seemed to correct them.
“I feel that at the beginning of the franchise” Real Housewives “and” Holding with the Kardashians “, there was this charm with the most bleached tooth you could have,” said Sarah Hahn, a prosthetic in Fremont, California, who has set a place for Tiktok Analyzing the smiles of celebrities. “It became more and more widespread. So many people did it.”
“You could report a million celebrities,” he added, “and everyone gets veneer.”
Over time, as the appearance became more widespread among celebrities, everyday people began to take a harder look at their own smiles.
Joyce Kahng, a cosmetic dentist From Costa Mesa, California, he said he saw the interest of patients in veneer after 2020 thanks to “Zoom Effect”.
“People were constantly watching themselves and started nitpick themselves,” he said. Wanting perfect teeth is a very American-if not exclusively-aesthetic morality, he said.
“People expect celebrities to do all their teeth at this point,” continued Dr. Kahng. “He started with celebrities, then he continued to influence influences and the influences are a little closer to regular everyday people.
Still, not everyone finds a glittering series of straight, whitening white teeth. As people train their eyes to locate celebrities, a small reaction has begun to be prepared. Some call the excessive perfect teeth “chiclets” and want for an earlier era of television and cinematic production when the actors do not look so close to each other. Even those who want veneer can ask for those that do not look very perfect.
“American television is now visually very homogeneous,” said Sue-Ann Jarrett, who is 33 years old and lives in Brooklyn. “I feel that many people look very similar.”
Sedika Williams, who lives in Brooklyn, said Mrs Wood’s teeth made her feel sad to get braces and change her own smile.
“I watch a lot of tiktok videos of creators who do before and after and makes me sorry because I always think the picture before the picture looks better,” said Williams, 27. “
In her videos, which she calls “veneer checks”, Dr. Hahn explains what is happening with the mouths of celebrities in technical terms, often using images that cover many years to show changes.
A former professor is trying to keep her videos positive and educational, she said, hoping to help people understand what dental work that their favorite stars could have and not criticize the quality of the work itself.
Dr. Kahng, who has also made content of dental celebrities for Tiktok, took a similar approach to some of her videos, but said he sometimes urges criticism.
“People connect teeth to a socio -economic level,” said Dr. Kahng. Last year, Jojo Siwa, for example, admitted Paying $ 50,000 for her new set of teeth.
Dr. Kahng has since stopped making a video analyzing the celebrity teeth.
“If you choose someone’s teeth and never bothered them and start talking about them, then people start to dislike when it wasn’t really a problem to start,” he said.
To one Recent interview with Hollywood journalistMs Wood turned to the sudden charm with her teeth.
“These people live in Hollywood,” she said of her Castmates. “I live in my little apartment in southeastern London and I’m so British with my sensitivity that I wasn’t sure how to handle be around so many people who are so front and confident.
The way in which “White Lotus” fans talk about her teeth added: “That I don’t have veneer or botox – it feels a little revolutionary.”
Mrs Dickson, a medical aesthetic from Chicago, said she was also slightly uncomfortable in the way some people have overcome the praise for Ms Wood’s smile.
“There is something slightly unique to her, but in any other way it matches the exact beauty model that Hollywood has loved forever,” Ms Dickson said. And maybe a way to make normal teeth more, well, normal Again it would not be to comment on them, he suggested.
“Even for myself. When people are like,” Oh my God, they love your gap! “” Mrs Dickson said. “It’s always just like,” Thank you – why are we talking about it? ”
