Aimee Lou Wood's Teeth Went Viral. The Moment Helped Teach Me A Beautiful Lesson.

The "White Lotus" star opened up about being bullied for her smile, which is something I also experienced for most of my life.

British actor Aimee Lou Wood is having what she described as a “full-circle” moment. The unwitting star of it?

Her buck teeth.

“I can’t believe the impact my teeth are having because the Americans can’t believe [it],” Wood explained on the Jonathan Ross show.

Taken out of context, it’s hard to make sense of what the HBO star is talking about. But, as someone born with a class 2 malocclusion and skeletal imbalance — fancy medical terms for a severe overbite and deformed jaw — I didn’t need to know what Wood’s teeth looked like in order to know exactly what she was referring to.

The immense popularity of “The White Lotus” in the United States has meant that Wood’s decision to do absolutely nothing about her overbite would not go unnoticed. The reaction to her teeth was so outsized that the actor even cautioned audiences against a DIY approach to emulating her smile. Social media orthodontists and dentists have, predictably, clambered to diagnose the position of Wood’s teeth.
