Four Secrets Towards The Perfect Smile
This is a sponsored post.
Smiling, it is something we all do, it shows we are happy, content and enjoying the moment.
However, we don’t always feel confident in our smile. For me, I have noticed my teeth moving back after years of brace wearing and not being told to keep using my retainer for life.
It is something one day I would like to get fixed again.
However, no matter where you are in your smile journey here are four secrets towards the perfect smile.
Good Oral Hygiene.
I recently wrote a more in-depth post on keeping good oral hygiene.
Making sure you take care of your teeth and gyms can be a huge part of being confident in your smile.
Making sure you brush twice a day, floss and use mouthwash as necessary can make a huge difference to having a white and bright smile.
Remember healthy gums should be pink, while red gums mean inflammation and something is going on – so pop to your dentist should you notice that.
Smile With Your Eyes
When it comes to photos, making sure your smile reaches your eyes is a big thing.
After all, if you smile says happy, but your eyes are saying oh no! It can definitely show in the photos that are taken.
One way to master this technique is to practice in the mirror, you can even use something to cover your mouth giving you a better look at how your eyes look, without your smile as a focus.
Consider Treatment
Sometimes our smile can be hindered by how we feel about our smile.
For me, it is my teeth moving back and personally, I’ve considered having braces again.
For others, treatment could be something like teeth reshaping, veneers or whitening.
It is worth remembering though that a truly happy smile comes from within. Though treatments may help you feel more confident in how you feel you look when you smile.
Be Happy
Tricks and practice will only get you so far, ultimately nothing beats a real happy smile.
After all, a grin can really be infectious. With the wide smile and happy glinting eyes, it is no wonder a smile can make others smile as they go about their day.
So do what makes you happy, think of what makes you happy and smile as much as you can and spread that positivity with others around you.

Great blog, oral hygiene is so important, I hate my smile, I always have avoided smiling because I should have got braces when I was younger and I dislike my teeth and my smile
I’ve got no fillings at 42,ive always brushed twice a day and floss
Nothing like a lovely smile from a stranger whilst out walking to brighten the day!
I totally agree – there is something catching about it.
I’ve just finished one year aligning my teeth, so my smile is getting bigger and bigger
Ohh that is awesome – it makes me want to do it more!
I am really frustrated that you cannot get dental appointments at the moment as one of my teeth is going wonky. Still, wearing masks keeps it hidden at the moment
It’s really strange as it seems to be so different in areas, I was offered a dental appointment which I turned down as I didn’t need to go.
Great tips and I totally agree, a real smile shines all the way through and always reaches the eyes.
Definitely I think when a smile is real it can definitely be infectious.
Taking care daily of our teeth is so important. Thanks for reminding us!
Definitely I think sometimes we all need a little reminder.
I know my coffee habit isn’t going anywhere. It would be a big boost to my smile to chat with my dentist about whitening!

I am really so keen to make sure that my daughter has good habits with cleaning her teeth etc especially now that she had got her first adult tooth through. When it comes to smiling I feel like it’s best to focus on the moment as then it’s a true smile.
It must be hard trying to make sure you pass on the knowledge. I’m not good at telling myself how it is all done.
This tips are good. I love to smile a lot and I am a happy child and being happy and cheesy is like a hobby.
Aww now that is an awesome hobby to have! Smiling is good.
It’s always best to have a natural smile rather than a forced one. I love photos of people when they’re caught laughing.
Definitely I think candid shots like that are just the best.
What lovely post! Im a smiler! I can’t help but give someone a smile, weather they be on the ebis or across the road. I get told at work that I’ve always got a smile on my face!
Aww yay! There is nothing like a smile as you walk down the street, I think sometimes it can make your day.
I’m always smiling. Altho I don’t have the perfect smile 🙂 My tenths are healthy but coffee left some marks on them, they need whitening. But still that doesn’t stop me from smiling.
Nothing wrong with that – mine are stained from too much tea lol.
All my children had to wear braces. I never regretted the money that we spent to have their teeth aligned. It really gave a big boost to their confidence. I believe good oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist and a positive attitude all contribute to a great smile.
I am glad I had mine done, I wish I had known I had to wear my retainer for life, rather than stopping at 18!
LOVE this…I am always hearing about that you should smile with your eyes…I need to try this the next time I am out and about x
I need to work it out as well – I pull the most awful faces in photos lol.
Great tips here, I am trying hard not to smile as still got a broken front tooth from lockdown and our dentist is only dealing with emergencies still and this is apparently not an emergency. I am considering other treatments and even looked at implants
Oh no I hope you can get it fixed at some point!
Some really great tips you’ve got here . Teeth is the first thing I look at when I see someone , I don’t know if it’s just me
I think they are something that stands out a lot as they are part of someone’s smile.
I hadnt really thought about impriving a smile, but they can be infectious as you can get other people to smile with you, smile more and your ay can be better.
I think that is the best part of a smile, the fact you can pass them on.

This is so true – I think sometimes it can just pass and people want to say hi.
Some great tips to having the perfect smile. I am like you and can feel my teeth moving as I was never given or told to wear a retainer after my braces.
It’s rubbish isn’t it – mine was basically just my brace in it’s finished position and I was told to wear it until I was 18.
I love these tips. I’m not a natural smiler, so I always feel awkward in pictures. Thanks for the advice!
I am using the Byte system right now to straighten my teeth and couldn’t be happier. Great system.
Ohh that sounds good I’ll have to have a look into it thank you.
I feel like Buddy the Elf when I say this but I genuinely love smiling. Wearing a mask is so hard because I am always smiling at people but now they don’t know! I actually made a young child cry the other day, I was smiling but forgot he couldn’t see that and I must have just looked crazy!
Good oral hygiene is really important and certainly gives us confidence in our smile.
Aww yay – I honestly believe a smile is infectious and it can mean a lot when you smile at someone else.
It is important to always have a positive attitude and to be happy and smiling. I feel good about my smile and I never have used whitining strips.
Aww yay I LOVE this – I think more people should be confident in their natural smile.
Good oral hygiene is the foundation of a great smile. If you dont’ have that, you don’t have anything. Great tips.
Definitely – we should all look to look after our oral hygiene.
I should smile more, but I tend to have a bitch resting face. I don’t mean to, it’s just what happens.
Haha, I totally have the same – I can look so moody and I don’t mean to AT ALL.
