Hottest thing to make you cute in Japan: Crooked teeth
A dental salon in Tokyo’s Ginza district has become very popular with girls after it advertised a cosmetic procedure that lengthens and sharpens canines to enhance a feature Japanese call “yaeba”, or “fanged teeth”.
They say that the uneven teeth makes girls seem more natural and approachable, but I think it’s because the forward-pointing canines gives girls that jagged-tooth pre-brace pre-teen look that Japan seems to be so fond of.
