Mind The Gap...

Georgia Jagger

With Georgia Jagger increasing her popularity in the modelling world and  having worked for large companies such as Rimmel, Versace and Hudson, her 'sexy pout' has also made an impact on the fashion industry.

Models are now paying to get the desired look that Georgia Jagger and Lara Stone sponser and  are willing to pay up to $2,500 for the imperfect veneers.                                                                                                                                                                                          

Dental Surgery

In 2010, the hit TV show, "America's Next Top Model", was scrutinised for suggesting that one competitor should get dental surgery so she could achieve the gap-toothed look. The model hopeful, Chelsea, had a quarter-of a millimeter shaved off each of her front teeth, removing the natural protective enamel and leaving them susceptible to decay and sensitivity issues.

It is believed that the Americans have managed to perfect beauty to such a great standard, that looking 'perfect' has become a thing of the past and that the focus is now on 'unusual beauty'.

Heather Muir, beauty news editor for 'Allure Magazine' in New York, said that , "I think for so long the look was cookie-cutter beauty, and it doesn't stand out. We're shifting to a more quirky beauty, and I think that includes women who have very fair skin, many freckles, or frizzy, big hair."

Now I don't know if it's just me, but I personally feel that paying $2,500 for getting a bracket in your teeth is ridiculous, and that there's a reason why these models are classed as unique. If everyone suddenly decided to get the dental procedure, there would be no originality in the look. Instead everyone would be walking about with a 'gappy' smile and decayed teeth.
