Naomi and her crowded mouth

Naomi's "Why"

Closed-mouth half-smiling for her whole life (so far)

Naomi felt that her crooked and overlapping teeth were always noticeable when talking or in candid photos. It made her feel embarrassed and self-conscious.

She’d pull that classic closed-mouth smirk, rather and a true uninhibited grin.

She couldn’t always fully express herself in front of new people, and it was getting her down.
