Will my teeth look fake?

That is the failure this is written against. The instruction asks for natural variation between teeth and the translucency at the edges to survive, rather than one flat white across the whole smile.

Does it straighten teeth as well?

No, and it is told not to. Shape, size, spacing, and alignment all stay as they are. This is a colour change only.

Will it change my lips or my skin?

It should not. The instruction names the lips, the gums, and the skin as things to leave alone, because whitening that spills onto them is the other obvious tell.

Does it work on a photo where I am laughing?

Yes, usually better than a closed smile, since more of the teeth are visible and in focus.

Can I use it on a photo of somebody else?

Only with their consent, like our other face tools. Our acceptable use policy requires it for edits to other people.

How it works

Add a photo: drag it onto the uploader or pick one from your device.
An editing model adjusts the colour of the teeth only, and leaves their shape alone.
Look at the result, then download it or run another photo through.

These models reconstruct rather than recover: they produce a plausible version of what was probably there, so results vary with the source photo. Run it again or try a different image if the first pass misses.

What to expect

Real teeth are not white. They vary slightly from one to the next and go translucent at the biting edge, and a tool that ignores both returns the flat grey white that makes a photo look edited from across a room. The instruction asks for the yellow to be lifted while that variation stays, and it forbids changing the shape, size, spacing, or alignment of any tooth, which is the line between a colour correction and a new smile. It works best on a clear, well lit smile photographed from the front. On a small or blurred mouth there is not much for it to work with, and it will do less rather than invent teeth.

Best results: A clear front facing smile where the teeth are actually in focus.
