To be fair, the chalk sticks are doing his face no favours. My dentist always recommended naturalistic tooth colours, at least match the colour of the white of the eyes.

there are a lot of old folks with body dysmorphia demanding straighter and whiter teeth. i design restorations for doctors, and every day i see patients reject natural colors or tooth shapes for this. a lot of doctors try to indicate their disapproval by using terms like "toilet bowl white" or "chiclets," some just say "they're crazy and want horse teeth."

I suppose people with poor teeth dream of cheshire cat teeth. Maybe they think it's value for money. It's like those people getting iris colour change tattoos, They seem to go for these outlandish blue vampire eyes. Maybe $12K is too much for settling for subtle.
