Beauty Smile Trainer

Here is something I ran across when I was Googling "smiles" and such. I am always curious what is out there on the web and I thought this was interesting. It appears to be a jelly rubber tube that you place behind your upper lip above your teeth. I am guessing that it is designed to "raise the curtain" of your upper lip to show off your smile more. I could not find a website directly for this and I suspect that it is a Japanese site. Beyond some French, I only speak English - too bad. Japanese is definitely a language I would like to know.

This gadget could help your smile - at least when you wear it. It could help to show off your smile and your upper teeth, for some people, depending on the position of their teeth and upper lip. It could also look a bit weird - you're on your own with it.

It's actually a clever device. I am not sure how well it would work, how natural it would look and how comfortable it would be. But the idea behind it makes sense. I have the same goals in orthodontic treatment.

Number 1 of course - we want to straighten and even out your teeth. But number 2 is just as important. We want to position your upper teeth and your smile so that you have a wide natural smile that supports your upper lip. This kind of smile looks younger, longer.

That is our goal for you and that is why I only use Damon braces. Nothing helps me more to achieve that broad beaming smile than the Damon braces I have been using for the past 6 years. Beauty Smile Trainer or Damon braces for that full gorgeous smile? I have no experience with the Beauty Smile Trainer, but with Damon braces, I have lots.

In the meantime, things like this make me want to visit Japan even more. I would be in gadget heaven.
