It’s almost time for Halloween, and while others may have their costumes hanging up and ready to go for the big night, you may still be trying to figure out what you can be. Depending on the state of your smile, you may be looking to do one of two things: hide it or highlight it. If it is the latter, you might consider these three costume ideas to help your pearly whites stand out among the sea of spooky, scary creatures.
Channel Your Inner Black Cat
There is nothing quite as simple as being a cat for Halloween. It doesn’t take much to pull together some black pants, a black top, and some black shoes. There’s also a good chance you’ll be able to find some affordable cat ears while using some black makeup to draw on some whiskers.
But to make your smile stand out, you can apply a bright shade of red lipstick to give your black cat a bit of sass. By adding this vibrant shade, you will see that your teeth stand out brighter than before.
Make Your Teeth the Focal Point as the Tooth Fairy
What better way to make a statement than to attend a Halloween party or go trick-or-treating with your kids as the Tooth Fairy?
This beautiful, mythical creature is known for her desire to only collect healthy teeth, so you can make yours the role model for everyone else! You might even consider going in for a teeth whitening treatment before the big day just so that your pearly whites make an extra bright appearance.
And if you really want to take the role of Tooth Fairy to another level, consider giving out non-candy treats with a reminder to brush before bed!
Grab Your Taped-Up Glasses and Become a Nerd
This costume is especially great for anyone who wears braces. Complete with suspenders, knee socks, loafers, a button-down shirt, or even a cardigan, you can pull together an outfit that screams nerd.
You might even consider asking your dentist or orthodontist about getting some multi-colored rubber bands to make your smile stand out even more.
No matter what you decide to dress up as this Halloween, consider ways you can make your smile the focal point. After all, not everything has to be scary!
