Yup. Women in Japan are actually paying to make their teeth crooked. You heard us correctly. What we call fangs and snaggle teeth, are being referred to as yaeba in Japana term that directly translates to double tooth.
Famous celebrities and various blogs have begun popularizing this unique new look. These fang-like yaeba teeth are supposed to make the girls seem more cute and approachable, causing men to be more attracted to them. Consequently, women are spending upwards of $400 on these stick-on fangs. The procedure simply consists of a dentist applying the plastic teeth directly onto existing teeth with glue.
