Check out some of the ways listed below to get the perfect smile:

Look After Your Teeth 

This is the most important thing to do to make sure you have a perfect smile. Even if you don't want your picture taken, you should still take care of your teeth. If you want the perfect smile, you should put on your list things like getting your teeth aligned by a cosmetic dentist, getting your teeth whitened, getting your teeth cleaned, and going to the dentist.

Your Bottom And Top Teeth Shouldn't Touch 

This is a tip that not many people know, but it can do wonders for your smile. When you smile with your top and bottom teeth touching, your neck muscles can tighten and sometimes bulge out in an unattractive way. If you leave a small space between your bottom and top teeth, your smile will look more natural and soft.

Don't Smile Too Big 

Not a joker smile, but a smile that comes from the heart is always the best way to go. We know you want to show off your white teeth, but a "joker grin" can make your smile look forced and bad. Research findings have shown that a smile that shows too many teeth doesn't make a good first impression. Don't try to make your smile bigger than it already is.

Wet Your Teeth Slightly, Then Smile 

This is a simple but effective trick to have in your back pocket. It can make your teeth look instantly whiter and brighter in pictures. Run your tongue over your teeth right before you smile. It will keep your teeth from looking bland and boring and instead make them look smoother and shinier.

Have The Camera At Eye Level 

If you hold your camera below eye level, your pictures will not look good. You could get the dreaded double chin, which could change the way your beautiful features look. By keeping the camera above eye level, you can avoid any awkward angles. It will also help your smile look much happier, shinier, and more natural.

Be Yourself and Take it Easy

Before any picture is taken, it's important to take a deep breath and try to calm down. But don't try too hard. Just let go and maybe even laugh a little. You will always have a beautiful smile if you are calm, happy, and sincere. Some photographers say you should pretend to smile at someone you love. No matter how you like to unwind, the most important thing is to have fun and be yourself. This is when you'll be most like yourself.
