Most of us want whiter teeth, and celebrities seem to have the most covet-worthy smiles around. So how do stars get such brilliantly white teeth, anyway? They go to celebrity aesthetic dentist Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, whose A-list clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Christie Brinkley, Mariska Hargitay, and Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio! (He also founded the revolutionary smile beauty company, GoSMILE.)
Here are some tips for a naturally white smile without expensive products or procedures from Dr. Levine himself:
Everyone has something they don’t like about their face. (OK, maybe not Alessandra Ambrosio.) Contouring is an excellent solution. By “contour”, I mean to change the visual impression of the shapes of your features.

Highlighting pairs neatly with contouring by drawing light and attention to more flattering areas. In this How-to, I’ll discuss how to cast the right light and shadow on your face.
