There is a new trend in Japan among girls. It's called "tsuke yeba" and it's a modification of girl's teeth. It's a surgical procedure that adds a small amount of plastic or ceramic (a special type as hard as bone so it doesn't break or interfere with anything) to the canine teeth of the girls. The effect of this interesting procedure is to make teeth appear crooked. The fascinating thing about tsuke yeba is that girls get this procedure to feel more approachable. Girls with perfect teeth may intimidate guys with their beauty, so it's important for Japanese girls to seem approachable. Apparently, a cute but not drop-dead gorgeous girl will get more attention from guys because the cute girl is in many more guys' leagues. At least, that's the thought process of many girls in Japan who are getting this procedure. They also give the girls a cuter and more youthful appearance, because teeth that seem crooked are typically more common in younger girls that haven't had braces or any orthodontic treatment.
