This week, on
basically every Japanese blog out there, there is a response to a woman asking about Yaeba. The reactions give it mixed reviews and I thought I'd give you mine. I don’t really like to write negative things about Japan on this site, so I’ll put my opinion in SAT style for you. Japanese teeth are to Asia as British teeth are to Europe.
Braces are very uncommon here and people rarely go to the dentist. Crooked teeth are seen as cute here, and the Western version of crooked teeth has nothing on the Japanese version of crooked teeth. You know the shark exhibits they have in aquariums? You know how sharks have two or three rows of teeth behind their regular teeth? Yes, you do. In Japan, wildly crooked teeth, especially when the front teeth overlap or when there's an extra tooth or two growing out of the upper gums, are called Yaeba.
Yaeba is seen as a cute and desirable thing. That’s fine. I think a bit of imperfection sometimes makes a face cuter (I love freckles and I often really love glasses.) but... I don't necessarily think Yaeba is
unattractive, but I think that braces are a really great invention and I’m glad that they are beginning to catch on here in Japan. I don't hate crooked teeth, but I am attracted to straight teeth more than to crooked teeth. Clean, straight, white, cavity-free teeth are my favorite kind of teeth. Plenty of people think that crooked teeth are adorable over here, though.
Yaeba / crooked teeth is one thing. It it is not a dealbreaker for me. The thing that
is is that flossing is not popular in this country. Almost all of my friends in Japan are Japanese but I have still never met Japanese people who floss their teeth. This used to shock and disgust me (and sometimes still does) but I guess every culture has their disgusting habits. Western people walk around the house with shoes on, even in their bedrooms. That is almost just as filthy, and Japanese people are disgusted by it. When I become close friends with people and they stay at my house, they watch me floss my teeth with amazement. “Doesn’t it hurt?!’ I teach them to floss and now I know three Japanese people who floss every other day because I taught them how.
ALSO. Why isn’t Kristen Dunst more popular over here? She did Marie Antoinette (a movie almost 100% about cake and fashion = a movie guaranteed to make money in Japan) and Spiderman (A superhero movie = a movie guaranteed to make money in Japan) and has the monopoly on Yaeba in Hollywood. Why is she not a household name like Cameron Diaz or Billy Blanks? She really needs to get on this and start hawking products in this part of the world. Kirsten Dunst could be so much popular than she is right now over here.

I never did understand why in asian countries they really didn't properly take care of their teeth but that goes without saying that no matter where you grow up there are different things that you do that some in other countries might not understand. Now granted I'm not a big fan of the Yaeba I would much rather prefer something a little more straight and clean but to each their own I guess.
I observed the same thing about Dunst.
I'm glad you are teaching people how to floss. Why don't they learn it in grade school?
On the other end of the scale I have noticed that Vietnamese girls, despite not having the same access to dental care as Japanese girls, have pretty straight teeth.
as long as people have clean teeth and fresh breath, i'm happy. i really can't stand bad breath.
and crooked teeth are so hard to clean. it's the main reason i got braces.
it's kind of refreshing that something that isn't perfect is seen as cute and at least japanese people save a lot of money on orthodontics...
I know. I used to work in a Korean school. I'Ll spare you the exact words they used to describe Japanese teeth, but you can guess than it was pretty scathing. Like I said... British teeth are to Europe as Japanese teeth are to Asia. My best friend in Japan is Danish-Vietnamese and has absolutely perfect teeth. In Thailand, I never noticed bad teeth. In HK I never noticed bad teeth. I don't know...
ahaha..can't stop cringing at the pictures. You broke the ice, I do notice quite a lot of Japanese girls with crooked teeth. Why I happened to Google it! Not sure why they do :P
I live in Okinawa, and personally, I think the crooked teeth can make someone attractive that much more attractive and interesting looking. How many perfect smiles do we need out there?
I had major painful orthodontics growing up, and I'm glad some cultures don't pay too much attention to it.
By the way, Julie, enjoy your blog! Stop by ours if you want any updates about Okinawa...also you could probably give insight to some of the strange things we encounter there!
This is really interesting. I always see girls with teeth like this in Osaka but I hadn't realised it was seen as a cute thing. I have had some dental treatment in Japan and it has been really good and very cheap. I come from England where dental care is often really expensive, i've always figured this is why we have bad teeth! but in japan i don't think the same can be true.
Mary and Sean! I love Okinawa and can't wait to go back. If you search this blog, there are tons of photos of Okinawa. It is my favorite place in Japan so far.
I like Yaeba, too. If it's just one or two teeth and if the person is really cute, slight imperfections can make a person seem more friendly. I generally prefer straight teeth, though, and I absolutely prefer clean, white teeth. Younger Japanese people are getting more into braces and brushing their teeth more than once a day, though. People at my work still look at me like I'm insane when I brush my teeth after lunch or after coffee, though. Oh well.
A Japanese friend of mine told me that her dentist told her that she didn't need to floss...And that if she brushed her teeth well enough that it wasn't necessary. The few times I went to the dentist in Japan for cleanings they did not use floss...they barely scraped the plaque off and they actually numbed my gums before they did it. I don't know...maybe that was just my dentist.
I don't care what people's teeth look like...but not flossing? No matter how you look at it, that's kind of gross. That's really nice of you to teach your friends to floss though. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. Pretty funny situation to find yourself in.
interesting! I like your blog by the way.^_^
I really like your blog but I'm a little disappointed with this post. To stay English people have bad teeth is an old old stereotype that the Americans can't seem to let go of. I have seen many American's with worse teeth. Visiting the dentist in England is not only expensive but difficult because there are huge waiting lists to join clinics but we all floss and brush our teeth more than once a day.
I will admit there are alot of crooked teeth in Japan but why is this seen as a bad thing. The Japanese people I know here brush their teeth after every meal and flossing isn't as rare as you make it out to be...
Japanese people think Westerners are disgusting for not showering or washing their hair everyday...
please don't tar everyone with the same brush....
I have crooked teeth. but its just on the top and it looks like vampire teeth. my mom says its cute but i think guys wont like it =[
I came on here to show my friend the teeth in Japan. I started reading and thought that I would add something.
About a year ago I was helping a dentist prepare a seminar presentation for an international dental conference in Portugal. His presentation was basically on crooked teeth in Asia. Long story short, he compared the density and size of the skull and mandible of Asians with Caucasians and was of the opinion that Japanese mouths are unique and it isn't about a poor quality of dentistry. I'm not sure whether he was correct or not, as the Japanese often claim that they are genetically unique, a view that helps them protect their pharmaceutical industry from external competitors. All I can say is that if they are anything like Japanese doctors they certainly leave a lot to be desired.
Hello Thanks for this page. I live in California and am sometimes so embarrased about my teeth I can lose my train of thought mid-sentence! Gotta stop that, and this page, the Japanese, and you bring back my inspiration-in myself! Thank you Koo-Dos Deanna
BTW Yall I realize that flossing may actulally be innecessary. I mean, people didn't usedto do it and now we have to ALL the Time? Come on be real now, and sure it cleans good, but doesnt flouride, AND flouride is proven to be a neurological adjuvant that is BAD BAD BAD?? So, who you gonna listen to, the truth, or the lies? I love this page, Kudos Kudos Kudos!!
I'm somewhat surprised by the following comment:
"Japanese people think Westerners are disgusting for not showering or washing their hair everyday..."
And I agree with Japanese who think so. I think the comment says more about the writer than westerners. I don't know people in my personal environment who don't shower every day.
And I don't understand the flossing issue. Isn't that something only elderly people do? What's so gross about not flossing? How come you guys always need to floss? To me it's more like an obsessive-compulsive neurosis? Shouldn't you guys wonders why there is so much stuck in between your teeth? Do you all have like a 'chicken run' set of teeth, which makes it easier to floss? I hardly ever need to floss. What about brushing your teeth properly. And is flossing an American thing? Are there proven results like people who floss have better teeth and breath?
(to above)
Not flossing gradually leads to a lowering of the gums and the widening of the gap between them and your teeth, which bacteria then crawl into, leading to gingivitis, itself the leading cause of tooth decay.

No one walks indoors with their shoes/boots on in Canada
thanks for the informative post! i always wondered why i never saw braces in japan :)
The reason they have yaeba, is that their jaws are too small for all their teeth. It happens a lot to the Japanese, but less so for other Asian races. Hence why it's a lot more common in Japan.
There really isn't much point in braces. You'd do more damage than good. If the girls really wanted straight teeth, it'd require pulling out 4-6 teeth, to make them all fit in perfectly. Then 3-4 years of braces, not to mention having to wear a retainer the rest of their lives.
There's also the possibility of needing to do surgery for a bone graph to their jaw, as more than likely it didn't grow correctly due to their tooth positions.
If you think all they need is braces, you're severely wrong.
I am actually a Vietnamese/Chinese mix and I had "yaeba", although it was not as severe as the pictures shown. And in response to krotch's post, he is right. Yaeba most likely happens because there is no room in their mouths for all of their teeth, and if they got braces, they'd have to have around 4 teeth taken out to make room.
I currently have braces, and I had to get 4 teeth extracted. I don't regret doing so, if you're wondering. My smile is definitely improving, and I have more confidence than ever. That being said, I live in the states. :)
However, his comment about "wearing a retainer for life" is partially true. Depending on the orthodontist you go to, some will tell you that you have to wear a retainer for life, some don't recommend it. And it's not as bad as it sounds. After your braces are taken off, you wear a retainer 24/7 for 6 months, then every night for two years. Afterwards, my ortho does NOT recommend wearing my retainer any more. (I won't trust her though, I'll probably wearing it twice every week at night).
Don't know why I had the urge to say this, but it's to clear any confusion about braces with yaeba teeth.
And for the individuals who tried to defend the flossing... well, I never used to floss every day. I hated flossing. But a few weeks before I was getting my braces, I started flossing, and boy, the horrors you find in your teeth that you miss while brushing is really disgusting. If you think you catch everything with brushing, you're wrong. Things get stuck between your teeth and imagine sleeping with day old foods in your mouth. This leads to major cavities and gum disease.
yaeba is cute in VERY FEW occasions.
flossing is healthy. specially if you have yaeba.
Countries with a high population of flossing generally have a high population of plastic surgeries too :D
I wonder if it is more better to just let your teeth grow in normally, than to fix it with money, time, and discomfort, are crooked teeth bad for your health?
OMG I have the same teeth!!!
"Countries with a high population of flossing generally have a high population of plastic surgeries too :D"
Actually, not true. Go google "plastic surgeries procedures by country" Nationmater's statistics show that Japan is ranked #4 in terms of most plastic surgeries done. Per capita, they're very high as well.
Japanese have bad teeth hygiene? O_O That's disgusting, never knew that. I used to have an extra really sharp tooth behind my upper teeth row, and hell no it wasn't cute at all. In Denmark you get these removed when you're young and still unaware of the great pain that comes when they remove it.
I don't know about the crooked teeth 'stereotypes' - anyone anywhere can have crooked teeth. Just random genetics... I, from varied European heritage, personally had crooked teeth when I was younger (and on the bottom, it looked like 2 rows, so i would bare my teeth and scare people) but was put through the horror of braces and everything is straight now (the horror! After my braces came off, they wanted to file all of my teeth to become the same length!)
Anyway, some people are just born with perfectly straight teeth. Like my friend from India. She never had braces, and her teeth were always so perfect. Anyone can have any kind of teeth, and crooked teeth are probably more common than you're aware of. A lot of people just chose to get them aligned.
Anyway, dental hygiene is important. It can always be good to floss... I don't floss my teeth that are close together, but the tightly packed ones, I do. If not for any other reason, it's good to floss to prevent cavities, because food can get caught between the teeth and they may start to rot away or something.
I think yaeba can be pretty cute...it doesn't suit everyone however. And often, it's really drastic looking. But like, one or two crooked teeth can look okay. For instance, my mom's friend has slightly crooked front teeth...and i always thought she looked pretty; in fact, i thought her teeth gave her an interesting look.
And about the Americans not showering every day thing... yes. It's pretty bad hygiene i guess... But i don't see how washing hair every day is a terrible thing. I wash mine like every three; it's fine...
Airi Suzuki (Hello! Project idol) has yaeba, and she had many solos, so in their music videos, it was all I could look at XD Many of the AKB48 members have yaeba too. It CAN be cute, but rarely.
As for flossing, I have braces, so it takes 4x as long, meanwhile I have a waterpik that gets that stuff out better than flossing with these darn wires in the way can. Even if you don't have braces, a waterpik is amazing.
A major problem I see everywhere is people that don't brush their tongue's. That thoroughly disgusts me, considering everything you eat touches it XD
Also, snaggle-tooths always make me think of squids :P
There are a lot of Americans commenting here. And it's quite interesting to see phrases like "they really didn't properly take care of their teeth"
Now, I would like to draw a distinction between healthy teeth and cosmetically "perfect" teeth. Just because teeth aren't perfectly straight and uniform, doesn't mean that they're not healthy.
Okay, so I'm British. We have a reputation for bad teeth and I'm not sure it's entirely deserved. We certainly don't place much emphasis on cosmetic dentistry (something which is changing now thanks to the advent of teeth whitening), but healthy teeth are considered an expected norm.
What weirds me out are legions of Americans with perfectly straight, uniform teeth in an unnatural gleaming white. To me, it looks very false and that's because it is. It's not natural. It contributes to the impression that many British people have that Americans are rather false and superficial.
I'm hardly surprised that Koreans favour cosmetically perfect teeth. There's a very strong American influence in their country and cosmetic surgery is so commonplace that over 90% of the population have had it done (eyelids mostly). So the jump to cosmetic dentistry isn't much of a leap for the Koreans.
Anyway, as one commenter pointed out, Japanese people are genetically different from the rest of the world and have smaller mouths that cannot accomodate a full set of teeth. Thus crooked teeth are normal. And for such a people that are into so many superficial and material things, I think it's rather refreshing that they don't feel the need to have fashionable smiles.
There are a lot of anecdotal comments and sifting through it all to come up with any truths is frustrating.
So I will add my two cents to muddle the mixture.
My wife is from Japan, not Japanese-American, and brushes and flosses at least twice a day. Her mother is the same and even gave me a pep talk about flossing, saying that it was the key to her nice teeth. At nearly 70 years old she has very nice cavity free teeth.
My amusing dentist in Japan story follows:
The pain was too much to bear and I needed to have an upper molar tooth removed while I was living in Japan some years ago. The elderly dental assistant who, know doubt, was surprised by the gaijin in the chair was all thumbs as she attempted to spray water in my mouth so the dentist could extract my tooth through the blood. She missed my mouth and hit my front teeth with the spray of water. The ricochet blasted the dentist on his mask and the old dental assistant smiled and stifled a laugh, as did I. The dentist didn't think it so funny.
As he was extracting the tooth, a piece of the tooth cracked and landed on my tongue which I dutifully trapped against my palate so as to keep it from going down my throat. The deft assistant fumbled for it with some tool and so I released my tongue and she dropped it towards the back of my throat! I had to cough it back up which wasn't exactly my idea of fun.
Eventually the rotten tooth was extracted and all was well with the world.
What really made me happy was the Anpanman kids book that was in the waiting room. Baikinman was the bad guy in a story about hamigaki o suru ( brushing your teeth )...
Those were some good times in my life.
These days we have to hate everything about ourselves from birth until the day we can change them. From our faces, to our hips to our genitalia. We are valued on our ability to be young and slim yet buxom.. forever. and it seems to be women as much as men who drive this mentality. Japanese women had better listen up and start spending more money and effort on their teeth, because western people's opinion is really important, right?!
I'm not a fan of blogs, but love sociology, so I really enjoyed your blog entry here. Thank you...
guess what?
teeth don't grow in perfectly every time. most people are born with crooked teeth.
it's society's conventions that govern wether or not these teeth are "corrected". Who are we to say that people with crooked teeth don't "properly take care of their teeth"?
if you have crooked teeth and live in a place where everyone tells you that you can't be beautiful or successful without a gleaming, white, perfectly aligned set of teeth and you have 7000$ or more to spend on having them fixed over a year of dental work; good for you.
If you've got crooked teeth and have the good fortune to live in a place where people who think your teeth are not only acceptable, but cute, i think that's even better.
I think this is just adorable :) I Have really crooked teeth and i live in the US.I would keep my crooked teeth but its interfering with my jaw bone. Because the wizdom teeth havent been removed ( its so expensive!)they are creating sores, and horrible aches in my teeth, and i have the worst crooked teeth in my school that I've seen. No one has complained though. I enjoy my teeth :)I would hope to get my top row a little straighter seeing that i ahve two rows going on, but other than that and the wisdom problem, I am satisfied.
As for the not flossing, I am actually surprised to hear that it is not popular in japan. I personally love to floss, and i do after i eat anything as i hate to have bad breath. I also brush after every meal with baking soda as well as toothpaste and mouthwash. People say I have the best dental hygine habbits they have seen, mostly because i guess i just make the time to do it between classes.
I think diet is also a huge factor.
I japan when I have gone i rarely see anything too unhealthy, most ofthe things i have seen for sale is either plant material, or fish. Not sugars , starches, or red meats.
Maybe this effects the decision to floss or not?
I do beleive that customs are very much different everywhere we go.
U.S people insist on using carpeting even though its impractical and causes allergies and health problems.And we also wear our shoes in our rooms after being outside in them
(personally i really hate that because it brings in toxins, and it dirties the carpet we are so ardent on using :p I leave my shoes outside or in the mud room)
Japanese people dont floss regularly.
And in Europe, they aren't as ashamed of the naked form as they are in the U.S
To outsiders it may seem bizarre but if you grew up there im sure you wouldn't think anything of it.
This is a great blog, I love learning new little things :)
guys, floss your teeth. whether or not they're straight or not, the periodontal pockets need be cleaned out. plaque collects between teeth even if your diet isn't high in sugar. it isn't an anal american thing or anything, it is a healthy habit that cultures have been doing for years. you will most likely not keep your teeth for your entire life if you don't take care of them.
not flossing is a lot worse than not showering every day. not all the the bacteria on the skin are harmful. for those with sensitive or dry skin, it can be a lot worse to shower daily and dry out and stress your skin. the oils your skin makes are necessary and aren't there just because it has nothing else to do. dry, cracked, fissured skin is just asking for fungal or harmful bacterial infections. for others, they can handle it. it's all individual based on your own body and activity level.
let's not forget the bacteria in your own gut. it's probably better to not consume those, but they are necessary. don't think that the bacteria on your skin aren't necessary either.
we can't be elitist and divide and alienate different cultures here. science and medicine and dentistry prevail in this case.
Kristen Dunst is just another ugly white girl and Japan doesn't give a damn about her celebrity status (and neither do I).
and I'll just say I won't date any asian girl if she doesn't have Yaeba teeth.
I'm American. I shower every day, twice a day. In fact, most Americans shower every day. I have no idea where the hell that stereotype even comes from! That's ridiculous! As for teeth, I was lucky enough to have naturally straight teeth. I'm not saying lucky because I think they look perfect, but because I avoided the horror of braces that my friends went through. My mouth too, was too small for my teeth, so I got my wisdom teeth removed at 18 so that I wouldn't have some random teeth protruding from my gums. That's just creepy. I personally don't find crooked teeth all that attractive, but that's probably because my teeth are not crooked. However if I loved someone who had crooked teeth, then I don't think I'd really care all that much. But I certainly don't consider it "cute". Definitely not. However is that to say that it is not? Certainly not. Everyone has their own things that they like. And I'm sure if I lived in a country where it was common to have crooked teeth, then I'd probably be used to seeing it and might think it was cute too. But to me it's like saying that crooked noses are cute. To many people, they most certainly are not. But to some they are. It's that kind of thing.
I had yaeba teeth growing up (despite not being of Asian descent) but as I grew, my mouth changed, so the teeth moved back. My canines still stand out a little, but I'm the only one that really notices.
Someone above said "over 90% of the population (in Korea) have had it (plastic surgery) done." This is such a dumb and widespread misconception because of "the people" who are very interested in actively spreading it everywhere. In a recent survey, it was estimated that 60% of the Seoulite females of age 25-29 received at least one form of cosmetic treatment that includes all aesthetic procedures out there, not just "surgery". Whenever there is a survey result like this, "they" try to make it all about plastic "surgery". There are Asians who want to believe good-looking Koreans must be plastic for their own insecurity issue.
i have crooked teeth! i can't afford to fix it so i learn to live with it.
although i think they're ugly.
so i take good care of them, i brush and floss regularly. but they're still ugly so i know it doesn't matter.
Ah. Turns out I had yaeba-esque teeth before getting them fixed. (One over-lapped, causing my canine tooth not to grow in where it was supposed to, making the baby tooth not come out, leaving me with an extra tooth until we got everyrhig fixed.) That was a fun three years :/
Also, on the topic of flossing, I will admit I don't do it. If I feel like something's stuck in my teeth, I'll floss... But not outside of that. And guess what? I still haven't had any cavities yet. Even with the three years of braces I didn't get any.
(And yes, I'm in the States.)
If you go for a cleaning in Japan they only clean the front teeth because that is all you see. They also like to use silver fillings and crowns. My wife grew up in Japan and now we are spending about $30K to get her teeth fixed with braces, pull bad teeth, root canals, implants and crowns. She never even knew about floss before. She will finally be able to bite into an apple and not have pain. There is something to be said for good dental work.

My wife had a bad dentist in Japan and now we are paying about $30K to get them fixed...braces, root canals, implants, crowns. She had one rich girl in her school that got braces and she asked her mom what they were and mom didn't know, can you believe that?. Also In Japan they do silver crowns not white. They also don't know abut flossing. She will finally have good teeth by 2013 where she can bite into an apple without cutting it first.

WOW that is quite a statement you are making. "We ALL" floss and brush more than once a day?? Google "gross generalisations" and learn from it.
And to say that American's don't shower is absurd. Where are you getting your info? You met one stinky jerk and you are making another gross generalisation. You're fired.
Hey ! I read your post . but It's NOT TRUE that their crooked teeth culture is popular in other Asian countries. for example . almost every Koreans dislike thier crooked teeth.. so don't think them as whole Asian people . also Koreans like to floss our teeth .
i'm from Indonesia, i always brush my teeth every day, at last twice a day,and brush my tongue too. braces are very common here
I suppose every culture has their 'quirky' little thing that they find cute, though I never knew this about Japan.
I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from when you say that western people leave their shoes on in the house, though. I've never heard of any family doing this (especially in their bedroom), and I've lived in Canada my whole life.
