Your lips may be moving, but it’s your teeth that are talking. People with straight, white smiles appear more successful, more intelligent and happier in their careers than those with crooked, stained teeth, according to a study by Beall Research and Training in Chicago. And get this: A smile can also function like a souped-up anti-aging cream. In a Roper survey based on before and after photos, 41 percent of Americans said aligning a set of crooked teeth subtracted five years (yes, five!) from a person’s overall look.
