Does a toothy smile come naturally?

I decided to do some smiling tests, and it seems that I have to forth my mouth open to show my teeth during a smile. Otherwise my smile only consists of widened lips. And mustache. :O

I was wondering because I always see these people smiling on TV, that just look so fake to me, and I figured that it probably took effort to make such toothy smiles. It does for me, anyway; I look so fake when I do it.

Yes, definitely.

I've been described to have a Joker-esque smile because of my tendency for toothy smiles and such.

Yep. I don't smile often, but it's toothy when I do. Which is bad. I have buck teeth. I need braces...

I think it depends on how happy I am (or perhaps rather how hard something makes me laugh). I have like... different degrees of smile. :P I'll often cover my mouth though, out of self-consciousness.

That sounds like me, except for the mouth-covering bit. It depends on various factors. I can do a big toothy grin, but usually only when I'm in a really good mood or find something funny or whatever.[/quote]

I never show my teeth when i smile, usually because i;m concerned about how they look (i gots a fang...)

I don't smile much, but when I do, it's more of a smirk...My lips don't part.
