What makes a smile look natural?
A genuine smile, sometimes called a Duchenne smile, involves not only the mouth but also the muscles around the eyes, which crinkle slightly. That is why a natural edited smile needs smile lines and relaxed cheeks, not just raised mouth corners. Tooth whitening, in turn, is a cosmetic dental treatment; this effect only brightens teeth in the picture.

What does the smile look like?
The smile is warm and genuine: lips parted to show your teeth, gently whitened but still natural, with matching smile lines and slightly lifted cheeks, so it looks like a real moment of laughter. Your identity, eye color, hairstyle, pose, clothes, background and light stay as in the photo.
