« Review: Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminée Eye and Lip Cream
NARS inspired by Japanese culture, unveils limited edition Kabuki Brush set »

While the trend of having teeth that are 100% perfect has died down a bit in the US. Meanwhile, in Japan, some are choosing to have a more fang-like look. The look has been dubbed “yaeba” in Japanese, which is the English equivalent of snaggleteeth. The style has lead young females straight into dentist chairs asking for crooked smiles, due to pieces of plastic attached to their teeth.

“The gapped tooth is sort of preorthodontic or early development, and the naturally occurring yaeba is because of delayed baby teeth or a mouth that’s too small,” Pace University’s Dr. Emilie Zaslow informed the New York Times, explaining, “It’s this kind of emphasis on youth and the sexualization of young girls.”

Many American stars, such as Kirsten Dunst, really embrace and love their imperfect teeth. Kirsten even admitted to Elle UK, “I love my snaggle fangs…they give me character and character is sexy.” Yet another star on this list is Heidi Klum, who said that one of the reasons why she loves the ad for her fragrance, Shine, is because “my snaggletooth is coming out a little bit.”

Whether the “yaeba” trend stays popular or dies out, there’s always the other Japanese tooth fad: tooth tattooing.

Dont worry, that’ll just last for a while. After that, they’ll try having teeth that are 100% perfect just like korea smile

i agree ... or natural looking ones .. this is the undying trend . because it’s the natural one ~


oh~ i’ve seen this somewhere~
weird though!!

That’s kind of weird...... The picture doesn’t help me visualize it lol


O.o alrighty then!!


hahaha so random XD Japanese people come out with the coolest stuff~ :D


Lol. That’s pretty cool. I don’t have crooked teeth but i have fangs. XD


lol this is funny i wonder which costs more and is more painful,braces/invisilign or to get the yaeba teeth?


That is so funny that they would do that on purpose… I’d die to have good teeth :(
And yeah, Kirsten Dunst’s teeth are rather nice the way they are ^^


how cute. i remember an American girl on youtube with the name MAGIBON has the same kind of teeth as well. Japanese people influence a lot of people now! Go crooked teeth! smile

A tattoo? hard to smile on that! i mean, you’re laughing so hard, when they see a cute tattoo on your tooth! lol! hilarious to imagine! :D


Only the Japanese would come up with something so funny and a bit absurd as well, heh.
