So many adverts made by ‘western’ companies, especially anything related to toothpaste/other dental stuff, have the presenter smile with some uniform, white flat teeth. I feel like they look sort of uncanny, they just seem off-putting to me. Most people have decently flat teeth but they aren’t that fake-looking white. I have pointy canines/pre molars that definitely look completely different to the ‘perfect teeth’.

    So people often comment on my extremely straight teeth, but it’s actually because I didn’t see the dentist for many years, it turns out that I grind my teeth, and so now my canines are flat. My dentist said I have teeth like someone in their sixties, and now I wear a mouth guard when I sleep to prevent further degradation.
