Nicole Kidman's "Tiny Teeth"

In 2004 the National Inquirer printed an article by Dr. Chris Kammer - the self proclaimed "Joan Rivers of Smiles". This article in its entirety can be found at http://www.thesmileexperts.com/pages/press/press29.htm. In this publication Dr. Kammer proceedes to analyze and critisize the very famous pearly whites of some of Hollywood's best and brightest stars.

Apparently the number of Oscars you've won won't protect you from Dr. Kammer's evil eye, here are some of the victims:

Diane Keaton - Could use a "smile lift" and has "over exposed gums"
Johnny Depp - Could use "teeth straightening"
Nicole Kidman - Has "tiny baby teeth" and should "get a bigger smile"
Ewan McGregor - Has a "reverse smile" with "tiny back teeth"
Bill Murray - Needs "crowns or veneers to give his teeth a more youthful appearance"

How can regular everyday folks like you and I be expected to live up to standards that Nicole Kidman and Johnny Depp can't even reach?!?

I find it interesting that these comments and "friendly suggestions" for improvement come from a man who alters people's smiles for a living. Perhaps if you stand to gain financially from finding flaws in someone else, then you shouldn't be the one pointing out the flaw. It's kind of like when you take your car into the shop to get the oil changed and the next thing you know, the mechanic tells you that you need a new engine, new tires, new brakes and pine tree air freshener.


For the record:
I've never met Dr. Kammer and I'm sure he's a lovely man.

Be Yourself!

I have noticed that many celebrities who come into the business with unique smiles opt to have their teeth "fixed" once they get a little bit of money.

Prime example: Chris Rock. Chris was quoted in saying that as a child his "teeth were all messed up". And other people out there in cyberspace post things like, "I'm so glad Chris Rock got his teeth fixed and a hair cut".

Why? Why do we look at a person with a gap in their teeth and say that they are messed up? Why do we call overbites "buck teeth"? No lie, I was watching an Invisiline commercial and they interviewed an orthodontist who said that Invisiline would correct all kinds of "problems" such as "buck teeth". What kind of professional would use such a term?

Instead, I applaud people like David Letterman, Condoleeza Rice, and Lauren Hutton (a beautiful and well paid MODEL). These people realize that it truly isn't the angle of the tooth that determines your worth but the depth of your truth.

Let's embrace our unique smiles instead of alienating each other!
Who's with me?
