What can it mean when someone has an un-ingratiating smile? It means he/she isn't perceived as swimmingly as folks who smile picture perfect enamel coated resin choppers, all equally white as sunshine. There is inequality. Aesthetic variety. A motherfucker.
Lovely looking people with perfect teeth are worth a whole lot more to the US than buck toothed ragamuffins from West Virginia. People with great hair earn a pentillion times more money than doddering chrome domes. A scum bag with great skin will sell more Cadillacs than will some crater faced, zit factory with halo, white wings and long scepter with a star at the end. Twinkling, for fuck sake. People value beauty, and no one I know of forgives ugly for very long.
This can mean 'no smiling,' one of those oppressive rules that turn up in armies, orphanages and grade schools. Or at the office, or when walking, at any age at all, one to a low three digits, down the street you live on. It's a cruel inversion to look uglier smiling than when keeping a straight face. Might say the problem is emotionally crippling, but that would indicate greater sensitivity than is wise to pony forth in this slummy district. Bad teeth are ugly. People are hostile and discriminatory towards the condition, in the same way as toward women, minorities, and people with weird medical conditions too ugly to go further warbling about.
