Actor Lee Hyo-bin made his debut in tvN’s drama “The Iron Empress” in 2020, and has since garnered attention for his steady acting and mysterious visuals in both dramas and commercials. She went on to make a name for herself in TV Chosun and Wave with her roles in “The Chairman’s 9th Grade” and “General Advertising Agency Chichi”. Her on-screen presence is even more beautiful in Minish.
Choose minis that protect your natural teeth
Due to the nature of her job, which often involves being in front of cameras and close-ups of her teeth, she had considered getting laminates to improve her visual appearance. However, she knew the irreplaceable value of her natural teeth, so she put the procedure on hold, thinking that she would do it someday when she felt she needed it. Then she suffered a traumatic tooth injury that fractured half of her front tooth and cracked the surrounding teeth, leaving her in urgent need of treatment.
As soon as she injured her tooth, she went to the nearest dentist to have it x-rayed and checked. When a tooth is fractured, a crown is usually recommended. At the time, she was recommended a crown, but what she chose was neither a crown nor a laminate, but a minish.
and I have to be careful when chewing food because it’s a temporary tooth.
I was hesitant about crowns because they would require tooth removal to make room for the prosthesis. Laminates were also a no-brainer for the same reason. I was concerned that any procedure that involves tooth removal could have side effects, such as tooth erosion, or that my dental health could deteriorate over time.
She wanted to find a treatment that would restore her natural look, as she felt that the color of her teeth looked artificial. She wanted a treatment that would have as few side effects as possible, and one that would preserve her natural teeth as much as possible. Minish was the perfect fit.
Crucially, the fact that Minish’s material, Minishblock, has the closest properties to natural teeth and is therefore biocompatible, was a positive factor in deciding on Minish. The fact that the company has more than 150,000 cases under its belt and a warranty of up to 10 years also convinced him.
Minish that blends in with existing teeth
In her experience with minisheath, she said, “There was no tooth removal, just surface preparation and treatment, so there was no soreness.” She had a one-day minish where her teeth were cleaned in the morning and restorations were placed in the afternoon. “I didn’t have any discomfort while eating lunch after my teeth were cleaned and while the minish was being made,” she said, “I ate rice noodles and ate as usual without any soreness or pain.”
The most important effect Hyo Bin Lee wanted to achieve with Minish was a natural-looking restoration. She didn’t want her teeth to “stand out” when shown to the public on screen, so when considering the color and shape of her restorations, the main focus was to blend in with her existing teeth. And after Minish, she got exactly what she wanted.
When she first looked at herself in the mirror after getting Minish, she said, “They just felt like my teeth, and they matched my appearance so well that you wouldn’t know I had Minish unless I told you.” She added, “When I took a video of myself after getting Minish, I noticed that my smile line was cleaner,” and “I practiced smiling a lot after getting Minish.”
Acquaintances who knew she’d gotten minis said they were “natural and pretty enough to be indistinguishable from her original teeth,” just as she’d hoped. Friends who didn’t know she’d gotten Minish wondered, “You look different, what’s the secret?”
Hyo-bin says she has a lot of roles she wants to play in the future, so it was important for her to have a natural result. If she was only doing commercials, white teeth wouldn’t be a problem, but if she were to do a period drama, it would look fake if her teeth were too white.
I was pleased with how the minish turned out: the arrangement was naturally even, and the lines were smooth.
Finally, she highly recommends Minish to anyone considering it, saying, “Minish is a healthy way to keep your teeth the way they are and make them look great.”
