It’s not world ending, but if it’s bothering you, it’s bothering us. So, rather than send yourself into a spin by refusing to show the world your pearly whites, let’s take advantage of the beauty tips that will help you feel like your best self. Just as we enlist a concealer to cover up our dark under-eyes or a brow pencil to fill in any sparse patches, there are simple and effective steps to follow in the ‘big front teeth’ department that will sky-rocket your confidence.
The best ways to distract from your big front teeth
Apply bold makeup
Ah, the old dazzle and deflect. Move the focus up your face and keep the excitement around your eyes. How do we suggest going about this? A bold shadow? Or perhaps a cat eye? If you’re really feeling fancy, may we suggest strips of false lashes to add some immediate Bambi-esque volume.
Try wearing a V-neck
In the same way that bold eye makeup draws the eyes upwards, a V-neck top will elongate your neck and décolletage. If showing too much skin isn’t really your thing, fear not; it doesn’t have to be a deep V. Just enough to show a tasteful bit of skin!
Focus on your ‘smize’

If it’s photos that really highlight your front tooth-insecurity, swap out a wide-toothed smile in the place of a tighter, closed-mouth smile, paired with the term coined by Tyra Banks on America’s Next Top Model. In other words, shoot the camera your fiercest ‘smize’. A.K.A making your smile more about your eyes and less about your mouth.
Consider Invisalign treatment
From Angelina Jolie to Tom Cruise, all the A-listers have turned to braces at one point or another. If your front teeth are accentuated by an uneven smile, consider aligning your teeth and straightening things out with a course of Invisalign trays.
Learn to love ‘em
Here’s the thing: typically our most triggering flaw is often the feature our family and friends love about us the most. In the words of Jon Bon-Jovi: “if you could see yourself the way that others do, you’d wish you were as beautiful as you.”
Do you have big front teeth? What beauty flaws have you tried to hide?
Great tips. Learn to love them is probably my favorite 🙂
Yes they are part of you but not all of you
Yep, that’s the best advice but probably the hardest to follow
No I don’t have big front teeth but I don’t like my teeth so I smile with my mouth closed.
Please try not to think about your teeth when you smile. I bet you smile is lovely and lights up your face.
Don’t do that -a lovely smile is gold.
Embrace everything about yourself. No need to hide a beautiful smile.
I didn’t even think that was something to be insecure about!
first I’d heard of it too!
We are all insecure about something
Wow not sure if I would be happy with big front teeth, but these women seem to be okay with it.
I think if teeth are big but straight and white they look good some people have really crooked teeth and they can look not so good
Not really big , but the tips in the article are quite good. This the first time I heard about smize.
Omg that is not a flaw! That is beautiful!
I’ve got a mild overbite, so I often get lipstick transferring onto my teeth. I favour 2-step long-lasting lippies to prevent this.
Just accept and love what you look like!
right!!!!!!!!!!!
I have big front teeth and I have focused on always making sure they look clean and sparkly
Good idea
I don’t have big front teeth, but my teeth are’nt pretty. So some of these tips are really good.
………..
I guess everyone has something they don’t like about themselves hey
That’s true
…….
Not something I’ve ever thought about, don’t see it as an issue
My daughter was self-conscious of her big k9 teeth & would always smile with her mouth closed but as she has gotten older, she has embraced them & now has the most beautiful smile 🙂
That’s so gorgeous!
cuteee
Every few years a different style of teeth is in vogue. The gap tooth, wide smile etc.
There’s nothing more beautiful than a genuine smile, regardless of what the teeth look like
So true!
That reminds me I have the dentist tomorrow…
Oh no the dentist. We have a great guy, but still not too keen.
Love them! Smiles are great.
Love yourself.
exactly
Unfortunately I don’t like my teeth either so I rarely smile much at all. Just look at Victoria Beckham she doesn’t smile much in photos but she has beautiful teeth as well.
correct
I don’t have big front teeth but I don’t particularly like my teeth or my smile however I try not to think about it too much and just get on looking happy and content.
lets go
Looking happy and content is a good way to be
As long as they are healthy and well kept
thats right
Best advice is to embrace those things that make you different to others
Agree!!
I would love to say just love what you have, but I think we all have our own insecurities
same
Invisalign or braces wouldn’t help; they’ll still be big, just accept them as part of you
yessss
All the better to eat you with!
I’ve never really thought much about my teeth.
same here
I am happy with mine. No need to hide.
you are pretty no matter what
How quickly we’ve accepted blinding white teeth as the norm.
I don’t have large front teeth, but i hate my double chin, i need it gone!
My Mum had big teeth with a wide gap. She used to say that the wide gap was meant to mean you were rich, turns out that wasn’t true at all as Mum worked hard all her life but was never rich.
Wouldn’t that be nice. Wide gap means riches. Pity it wasn’t true
Learn to love them is the best tip there is. Everybody is beautiful for their individuality.
If braces did not work, I would get Invisalign for sure. It will be good to see an article on the most successful in chair whitening treatments. Thanks BH x
I hope nobody says dont smile.!! A big lovely smile always means more than big teeth.
Not a problem for me.
Some people have really ugly teeth that dominate their face and they are the ones that really need to have some help but usually big teeth are not amajor
There is a difference between just big teeth and ugly teeth. If they are really ugly it is best to discuss with dentist and get a plan to fix.
Learn to love them? Not always an easy task. Bold lips won’t work with me either as I have thin lips..and I don’t like my smile at all.
