How 'Wonky' Teeth Became the Latest It-Girl Status Symbol
Today's It-Girls are celebrated for their imperfect incisors, as dentists notice a shift away from expensive veneers and the traditional "Hollywood smile" toward more natural dental looks.
For years, many spent large sums bleaching, drilling, and filing their teeth to achieve flawless, pearly whites. However, modern style icons proudly showcase their unique smiles, despite childhood teasing about their "wonky" teeth.

"In my years as a dentist, I've seen plenty of trends come and go—from ultra-white veneers to the push for perfectly straight teeth. But lately, there's been a really refreshing shift," she said. "More people are rethinking what a 'perfect smile' actually means. These days, patients are leaning into a more natural look—embracing little quirks, slight overlaps, and the kind of uniqueness that makes their smiles truly their own."
