Yaeba
The West came out with gold teeth, or “grills,” an awful trend that continues to this day and no longer limited to rappers and street thugs. But Japan, yes, Japan, yet again, has responded with ”yaeba.” The Japanese challenge to grills consists of dental crowns that elongate their canines and give the effect of dental overcrowding and slightly vampirish teeth. Reportedly, Japanese men find women with these teeth attractive and innocent in a childish and impish way. Needless to say, a mature 30 year old with yaeba is anything but impish and childish; she’s simply another person with slightly crooked teeth and long fangs.
