I spent 30 years not smiling in photos.
Not the kind of not-smiling where you're just being serious. The kind where you're aware of your teeth every single time a camera comes out. Where you've trained yourself to close your mouth before anyone notices. Then my dentist said they needed to come out โ over $9,000 on the table before a single thing had changed. And underneath all of it, one fear nobody says out loud: what if I hate it?
I needed to see my face before I committed. Not a stock image. Not a generic smile pasted onto a stranger. My face. That's why I built SmileForward.
