  • Title: Can a new smile make you look more intelligent and successful?
    Author: Beall AE.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2007 Apr; 51(2):289-97, vii. PubMed ID: 17532913.
    Abstract:
    A smile has a tremendous impact on perceptions of one's attractiveness and one's personality. Previous psychological research has shown that attractive people are perceived as more successful, intelligent, and friendly. Research extends these findings by demonstrating that teeth alone can have an impact on overall attractiveness and perceptions of personality attributes. The results of the study discussed in this article extend the attractiveness research and demonstrate that one's smile is an important part of the physical attractiveness stereotype. One's smile clearly plays a significant role in the perception that others have of our appearance and our personality.
