I am just wondering how many people here are confident enough with their smiles.
With the technology of cameras these days, most of us are addicted in taking photos with friends, families and even just photos of ourselves.
I sometimes don't have the confidence of my smile. I have problems with my two front teeth that's why there are times I just don't like the way my smile looks in the pictures.
How about you? Are you the kind of person who is proud of your smile? Do you just smile and not care on how the result of each photo will be?

sometimes i have problem on smilling too for my teeth are false teeth and i dont have that much confideince. but if i am having fun and seeing my pictures coming out smilling without a care it came out to be good smiles. sometimes when we are so insecure on how we are going to smile it ends up to be ugly on ictures, but when we just smile without any care and we are having fun it xomes out to be a good picture. agree?

hello roniroxas! nice to know that you are still on myLot. i haven't been here for awhile and i am so glad to see old members like you staying here.
anyway, you are right. it is better to smile naturally... when there's no need to force it or fake it. natural smiles are the best smiles ever.

I really liked my smile when I got my braces off. It was very...cute? Haha. But now I'm back on braces after my molars came in, so I'm feeling a little hesitant for big smiles, but I still like it.

I smile all the time. Even when I am feeling depressed or sad I still smile because I know if you just smile at someone else it makes you feel better and it could brighten their day.

I've got to watch this smile thing.
I do believe in smiles but I've lost all my front teeth.
A smile doesn't have to work with me at all.
But, yes, a smile does make the world look brighter, inside and out.

that is true. a smile can make a lot of difference. it has a power which can make this world a better place. it's just a small gesture of happiness but it can affect a lot of people in a positive way.

I have two uneven teeth in front and every time that I give my smile in a picture it was so obvious but I think its okay so I keep smiling. I believe that smile can make people look younger so I always smile. I also love taking photos, maybe because I always love to smile. I also think that smile can make angry people feel calm and if we show our smile to sad or lonely person we can also lessen their sadness.

I try to smile with my mouth closed because I have to teeth out in the bottom of my jaw in the front. My little sister and me were playing and she actually hit me in the mouth hard and it broke my two front teeth loose and I lost them. So I hate some of the pictures I take especially if my gap is showing.

I am kinda camera shy, I don't like having to pose for pictures that often, especially when its solo. But I am blessed enough to have a decent smile. I don't see any problem with my teeth, either there isn't any or I just don't notice it hehehe.

We have the same problem, I also have a problem on my teeth in front. I have what they call in filipino "sungki" tooth. They advice me to visit a dentist to have remedy but when I inquire it cost a lot so i just forget about it. What i do is, practice my smile and to make it simple so that i will not feel bad when i see my picture, because I am not confident to smile.

just right with you. i don't always smile. because when i smile , i will look very ugly. so i can't mouth to big. my mouth don't looks beautiful for my face. and don't fit my face. it is too big. and many person don't want me to smile . they don't want to see my big mouth.and my mouth will slanting when i smile. so i seldom smile. but many person don 't know why i always strictly.
