Two beauty influencers who came to Minish to restore their dwindling confidence whenever they saw themselves in videos and photos are back in front of the camera with beaming smiles. We talked to them about how changing their teeth was more than just a facelift.
“Good things happen after a minish,” says beauty influencer Kim Kyung Mi
Beauty influencer Kim Kyung-mi made waves when she appeared onas the wife of Mr. and Mrs. Kwanjong. She took several leaves of absence while giving birth to her three children and later left the show to pursue her dream of hosting the show. She is now living her dream by connecting with her fans through beauty content.
As a beauty influencer, Kyungmi says she realized that teeth are the most important thing to take care of, and that means they should be functionally healthy, not just pretty, so when choosing a dental clinic, she carefully considered the clinical experience of the doctor, the trust she felt during the consultation, and the atmosphere of the clinic.
“As I was entrusting them with my only tooth, the clinic was the most important thing to me, and Minish Dental Clinic met my criteria from the consultation to the aftercare. I also trusted their approach to the treatment, which was to save as much of the original tooth as possible without shaving it down.”
When we met up with her again after her mini-meal, she looked brighter, and in fact, she said she was so happy with the natural results that no one would know she had a mini-meal unless she told them.
“I used to feel self-conscious about my teeth when I was monitoring broadcasts, but now that I’m more confident, I smile more, and it changes my expression and mood.”
Before trying Minish, she was skeptical of the claim that it could be used like a natural tooth, but when she tried it, she was surprised at how comfortable it was and how much it felt like a natural tooth.
“I’m a very timid person, but I was able to have it done in one day without anesthesia, which was great. It doesn’t interfere with my work, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is on air or in front of people. It really helps to create a cleaner image.”
“If you want to be a dong, take care of your teeth first” beauty influencer Choi Yi-jeong
For influencers, their faces in videos and photos are their most important asset. Choi, an influencer in her 50s, started her beauty career after leaving her job as a product developer at a cosmetics company. She was interested in taking care of her skin and appearance, so she tried various products and procedures, but her teeth were the one thing she couldn’t solve.
As a child, she had two orthodontic treatments for malocclusions, but her bite was never perfect, and as she got older, her teeth wore down and stained, and she became less and less confident in her smile. She was inspired to try treatment after seeing the difference in her daughter, who first experienced Minish.
“Not being confident in my teeth limited my content creation, and I became more and more passive, comparing myself to celebrities on TV.”
The biggest change after the mini-meal is the naturalness of her smile. Whereas before, she would purposely smile less, she now finds herself smiling more widely, showing her teeth. Another satisfying aspect is that there was almost no tooth removal.
“I was really worried because people told me that you can’t do this because you have to have all your teeth removed, but they actually barely touched my teeth except for the cavities, so I was like, ‘Oh, they’re doing tooth preservation,’ and I was really happy with the way they designed it to fit my face.”
Choi highly recommended Minish to others with the same concerns, especially emphasizing that if you want to become a dong, take care of your teeth before any other procedure.
“If you’re a woman in your 50s like me, you’ve had treatments and you’ve been taking care of your skin, and I’ve been doing that, but no matter how good your skin is, it’s hard to look beautiful when your teeth are showing through. I think the real beauty is when your teeth are showing through, and that’s when you’re young.”
She expressed her desire to grow as a beauty influencer who communicates and shares exactly what she’s experienced so far, and as a recipient of the minish, she wanted to share her experience honestly.
“At this age, we all want to freshen up once in a while, and when you do, I want you to start with your teeth, because Minish is not just a procedure, it’s a life-enhancing experience.”
