A short YouTube video excerpt featuring Dr. Victoria Veytsman advising the younger generation to prioritize health as the foundation of beauty, to cultivate inner purpose rather than mimic celebrities, and to avoid permanent dental procedures (especially on teeth/jaw) until late teenage years when facial growth has settled.

What I'm finding with the younger generation is that much of the focus is on the outward appearance. In talking to the younger generation and talking about beautiful smile or the codes to beauty, especially at that age, health is really the foundation of all beauty. And really to shift our focus from what is our outward appearance to really creating that health, healthy foundation, also tapping into their inner purpose and their inner why. And what I'm finding with the younger generation is that much of the focus is on the outward appearance wanting to look like everyone else. Everyone wants to look like the next celebrity. But I think we really need to tap into our own best version of ourselves. I wouldn't do anything permanent to the teeth or to the mouth until at least the late, late teenage years, because I feel like the mouth is still shifting, everything's still growing. You're not totally settled into the final version of your face, of your jaw. Yes, I've done cases on younger patients, but I think waiting a little bit is definitely helpful until you're fully matured and fully developed.
