Crooked teeth all the rage in Japan
Crooked teeth all the rage in Japan
We all know that people wear braces to
make their teeth straight and their smile perfect. However, it is all
different in Japan. Crooked teeth are considered beautiful in the Asian
country.
The fashion trend, known as
tseuke-yaeba, is currently at the height of fashion in the island
nation. Young women do not hesitate to spare a few hundred dollars to
"fix" their straight teeth.
Japanese dentists started to offer such
procedures in 2011. However, tseuke-yaeba became highly popular just a
short while ago, after members of local pop band TYB48 began to flaunt
their imperfect smiles, says Shine.
The founder of the band is Taro Masuoka,
a dentist, who was the first to deform the teeth of his patients. "My
patients follow fashion and are very nice. I wanted to take the most of
it, and I created TYB48," says the doctor. Masuoka adds that protruding
teeth give a special charm to his client, while men consider such smiles
especially attractive.

questions: “did you brush your teeth today?” or “did you wear your rubber bands
as instructed?” is:
“I Tried”
So
what did Yoda have to say on this subject?:
