Bizarre new trend in Japan for cosmetically crooked teeth – Yaeba
Young Japanese girls are setting a very obscure trend called Yaeba (double tooth). Disregarding the accepted ideals for straight white teeth, girls from Tokyo are seeking more extreme work from their cosmetic dentists.
They are requesting ‘fang’ additions to be affixed to their canine teeth, making them appear to have a crooked and crowded smile. The aim is to look more youthful and child-like. Celebrity movie star Kirsten Dunst has a similar look, only hers is natural.
While this is certainly an interesting and thought provoking trend, we don’t see it catching on in the west. No fangs!
