I spent £4,000 on my smile — and yes, a good smile beats Botox
'Ooh, your teeth!' said a friend I hadn't seen for a while recently. 'They look lovely.' I beamed and flashed my pearly whites a bit more. I am vainly proud of my newly straight, newly whitened teeth. But they have come at a cost: about four grand, to be precise. Which is why I was ruefully amused to learn that smiling is considered a cheap alternative to Botox when it comes to looking more attractive. A recent study found that the perceived attractiveness of people receiving Botox or dermal fillers increased, on average, by just 0.07 points on a seven-point scale — so if you were rated a 4 out of 7 before it, you'd be a 4.07 afterwards. Smiling, by contrast, improves attractiveness by 0.4 points on the same scale — an effect nearly six times greater than Botox.
