The British dentists have noticed that an increased number of people are asking to correct their front teeth.
This phobia is called dental dysmorphia, a misconception about how people see their own teeth.
Which is the reason? The selfie!
Many of those who are fan of selfie believe that they have horsey teeth.
The reality is different, their teeth are normal, but their phones create a distorted image, this because a selfie is always taken quite closely.
Now that you know, buy a selfie stick or, even better, renounce to take selfie.

I heard of some that were walking near some cliffs and walked right over, while trying to get a good selfie. It's hard to believe the people of whatever age wouldn't be paying attention to their steps and where they're going in such situations.

I suppose taking selfie tends to be a new habit of younger generation mostly. The interesting and funny thing about it for the russians is that perhaps the first selfie was taken in a popular Soviet cartoon Nu, pogodi ("Well, just you wait)

Yes, straight teeth is a necessity if you need to straight them, the problem now seems to be that youngsters think they have distorted teeth, but it is not true, that is what they see taking selfies, because of the distortion of the photo.

I think selfies are silly - who wants to look up the noses of others....

Back at the time when selfies are not yet discovered, I wore braces (that is during my highschool). My teeth are not perfect but much better. And I do sometimes take selfies.3 people like this
