Since February 2025, publications on anomaly are diverge in social networks, due to which people form a double dentition, potentially dangerous for both physical and mental health. As an example, such posts are given pictures, and we checked their authenticity.
“The disease, known as a shark smile, is an anomaly in which a new, constant grows on the site of a still not fallen milk tooth. As a result, a double dentition is formed. This pathology is most common among children and adolescents aged 12 to 16 years, but it can occur in adults, both in men and women. Many people believe that this anomaly is only an aesthetic drawback, but in fact it can pose a serious danger to physical and even mental health, ”the public said“How is it possible?"On VKontakte. A post, illustrated by three pictures of a man with a shark smile, at the time of writing this parsing gained 18.6 million views.
Similar entries appeared in other communities on VKontakte, among which PRTN. (3.3 million views), EVERYDAY BULLSHT (469,000), "In case of important negotiations"(405 000), Brain (184,000, together with Discovery, “Why didn't I know this?” And “This is interesting!”) And DR. Moreover, in Some public shots, specified: "This is not a photoshop, but a rare mutation." Similar records are also found in "Classmates" And Instagram*.
The text in viral posts is a slightly edited fragment ArticlesWhich on September 26, 2024 was published on the website of the Dental Clinic Network. Its author is indicated by Anna Nikolich, a dentist with 20 years of experience. The article also lists Theoretical The causes of a sword of smile. Among them are heredity, violations in nutrition, deficiency of vitamins and minerals, bad habits in the child, infectious diseases of ENT organ, violation of respiration and improper formation of the roots of future teeth at the stage of intrauterine development of the fetus. The main signs of pathology, Nikolich, attributed, for example, the emergence of a feeling of overcrowding of the oral cavity, a violation of the chewing process and difficult hygiene. It is argued that if you do not treat a smile in a child, then in the future there is a high probability of bite impairment, changes in the chewing function, the occurrence of pathologies of the digestive tract, problems with diction, expressed asymmetry of the face, curvature of nearby teeth, etc.
However, not on all resources they give a similar definition of a sword smile. For example, on a blog on the site of the manufacturer of Elineers EuroKappa write So: “Aesthetically attractive smile is not only even and white teeth, but also the clear shape of the soft tissues that surround the crown. Due to genetic characteristics or illness, sometimes soft tissues become too noticeable, because of this, the gum line may seem uneven, and the teeth can be too small. This type of smile is called shark. ”
However, in viral publications, this is still not about the relative size of the teeth, but about their quantity and location in the oral cavity. Anomaly expressed in the presence of super -complex (extra) teeth is called polyodontia. Her, as a rule, Divide For two types: true (the presence of more than 32 permanent teeth) and false (occurs due to delay in milk loss). In the text, which is dispersed along social networks, we are talking about the second type, which in reality looks completely different from the viral pictures.
Some commentators under the distributed posts were not believed in the authenticity of the pictures used there. Many wrote that the images were Changed V photo editor or were generated neural networks. Even more users suggested that the photo shows a makeup for some kind of artistic film or television project (many for some reason Approvedthat the pictures are taken on the site of the series "Supernatural").
It was “verified” that the photographs were not created by artificial intelligence or somehow processed. In fact, viral images are screenshots of a video, which in June 2024 in his Instagram Published Mario Torres, makeup artist and special effects.
Torres clarified that the video shows a denture for the image of a demon of words in the creation of which he participated. Such a character appeared in the fourth episode The fourth season of the mystical series "Evil»On Paramount+. In addition, Torres He saidthat another artist did the prosthesis - Dan Reberetwhich is captured in the video. On his page, Rebere laid another one video With a demonstration of the same teeth.
Thus, in viral posts, not pictures of a person with a real bite pathology are given, but screenshots from a video where the make -up artist demonstrated the work of a denture for an actor who played in the fantastic series “Evil”.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns the social network Instagram, is prohibited by an extremist organization, its activities and symbolism in Russia.
