Smiles brighten up our days, and their forms are manifold. They are important in the arts, literature, and music. A very well-known example in literature certainly is the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Probably the most discussed smile in art is that of the Mona Lisa: is the smile as enigmatic as many claim or did she suffer from bruxism1, as the Italian doctor, Dr Filippo Surano suggested in 1999?
