Maybe you don’t make a living through social media like some Kardashians celebrities. Then again, maybe you do. Whether your name is big or small in the game of Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, or YouTube, if any portion of your livelihood comes from internet traffic, likes, follows, or subscribers, then it matters how your smile looks.

Should You Shake Up Your Smile?
If you think your smile is good enough, that you have enough of an online following without changing yourself one bit, we present the evidence of celebrity once again. People like beautiful people. People respond to stunning smiles. White, flawless teeth make people look smarter, wealthier, happier, more honest, healthier, and more appealing than they might actually be.
Unless your imperfect smile is your money-maker and your unique look has helped solidify your place in the abyss of social media, consider the benefits of a smile makeover if you’re sporting any of the following weak points in your smile:
- Gap teeth: The endearing look of gapped teeth may be hot in the modeling and acting world these days, but this may be a personal trait that you have lamented since your permanent teeth erupted from your gums. Consider whether your unique look is gaining you followers or not. Then think about whether you would be happier with an aligned smile that others will truly envy. From porcelain veneers to Lumineers to Invisalign, the options are many for minimizing one or many teeth gaps.
- Silver fillings: Think your viewers and followers aren’t noticing every single detail about you as they review your postings over and over again? They know when your hair looks different, when you’ve worn the same clothes, and they definitely notice those unsightly silver fillings when you throw your head back and laugh. Don’t hesitate to keep on laughing big and loud – just do it with the healthier version of fillings: tooth-colored fillings.
- Short teeth: You can’t help the DNA cards you’re dealt. The great news is that you don’t have to live with the smile imperfections you inherited. If short teeth are your complaint, porcelain veneers will be your gain. Veneers are customized so carefully that they flatter your smile and face in shape, size, and shade. Your teeth can be elongated to truly give you that big, grown-up smile you’ve always wanted. This smile makeover can usually happen in just two visits to your cosmetic dentist.
- Misaligned teeth: Maybe you run a blog for brides. Are you hiding your own smile as you encourage these wives-to-be to pucker up and smile wide for their big day? Encourage them to pursue their own smile makeovers in time for the nuptials by showcasing your own Invisalign braces journey that corrects the misaligned teeth that have long plagued you.
- Stained teeth: There is no excuse for stained teeth in today’s modern age. While there are plenty of over-the-counter options for teeth whitening, a better and longer-lasting bang for your buck involves a professional teeth whitening treatment. Spending an hour in a Manhattan cosmetic dentist’s office getting your teeth whitened with the effective, professional-use-only bleaching agents that can truly recreate your smile is the fastest and most effective way to transform your look. What Starbucks addiction? You will have the smile of an internet superstar.

Feature Your Own Smile Makeover
It takes a confident person to put their life out on social media. So maybe you don’t need a smile makeover for a self-esteem boost. However, plenty of people do crave some support for their morale. After all, it’s tough to be a performer in any shape or form. By featuring yourself as a brand online, you openly solicit feedback (even when those words are sometimes awful and insulting and just plain mean). So why not see what it feels like to get some amazing and positive reactions? Even if your smile makeover still results in comments from cranky, abusive, and overly vocal online trolls, you’ll be so happy and confident about your new grin, you won’t care. After all, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, right?
Really want to create some traffic? Video or photograph your smile makeover transformation and share that journey with your audience. Not only will followers feel special and privileged to get a really intimate look at the real you, they may just be inspired to improve their own lives and oral health. Take it from us, a smile makeover can be the change that seals the deal, nabs the job, lands the date, and changes your life – for the better – forever.
