The first photo is of the front of your teeth, bite down on your back teeth, relax your lips and use two fingers to pull the sides of your mouth toe expose your teeth. If you’re taking a selfie and can’t use both hands, bite and smile big to show as many teeth as you can.

The second photo is of the left side of your mouth. Bit down on your back teeth. Look to the right, relax your lips and pull your left cheek back with one finger.
