Whether you are looking for the right words to compliment someone’s smile, or for a perfect cute smile caption for your Instagram selfie, you’ll find plenty of good quotes below.
What makes a smile cute?
Your natural positive outlook, unique features of your beautiful face, and your inner beauty and peace, all contribute to your smile being perceived as cute just as much as teeth whiteness or alignment do. There is also personal perception, which makes people who love you consider your smile even cuter than others see it.
Dentists might tell you that a cute smile is all about teeth. And while there is some logic in that, you don’t need perfectly aligned white teeth and a specific mouth curve for someone to consider your smile cute. I say it’s (almost) all about the attitude!
Take dogs for example. Naturally, when they show teeth, it’s a sign of aggression, right? So logically, they are supposed to see us as a threat every time we smile at them (which is a lot, let’s be honest). Instead, studies show that dogs actually respond to the smiles of their humans in a positive way, by changing their own facial expressions.
So why does it happen? Clearly, they are looking at the whole picture. They read your gestures, the way you stand, the sounds you make, and your overall attitude. They hear laugh instead of growling and see love in your eyes, and they feel safe with you. Same, but on a more complicated level, happens to people.
You don’t even have to show your teeth to have a cute smile. In fact, a closed-mouth smile is often interpreted as a sign of warmth and kindness. Personally, for the first two decades of my life, I was shy and insecure enough to never show my teeth when smiling, and I was still considered a cute smile person by some people.
Similarly, in most cases, it’s obvious when a smile is fake or forced, and that one will never be wholeheartedly considered cute or beautiful.
Why show your cute smile to the world?
Smiling at someone is the easiest way to improve their mood immediately, without much effort. Even smiling in the mirror can make your day better, raise your confidence, and release some stress by laughing, especially if you stare at yourself with a forced smile long enough.
Let’s see what a cute smile implies:
- A cute smile is lovely to look at;
- A person with a cute smile has at least one reason to smile a lot;
- A cute person usually has a cute smile;
- A cute smile improves your mood when you see it;
- A cute smile immediately makes you want to smile back;
- It’s easy to come up with a compliment for a cute smile;
- A cute smile improves your self-esteem when you smile in the mirror.
Maybe that were some silly examples, but who said you should always be serious? Smile just because you can! Show your cute smile to the world, even when nobody is around to see it! Who knows, you might even get a bit healthier every time you do it.
