Halloween is two weeks away! Do you have an idea of what you’re going to dress up as? Whether you’re taking your niece or nephew to a trunk or treat or you’re driving to the neighborhood that gives out the best candy to make sure your child has a blast, you should dress up, too! Read on for four Halloween costume ideas that showcase your smile and help you have the most fun, no matter what your plans are!
A Vampire
The great thing about choosing to dress up as a vampire is that you can take it in so many different directions. You can have a quirky and fun outfit, go full-on Transylvanian, or edge into horror territory. No matter what type of vampire you dress up as, your main feature will be your teeth! Adhere some fake fangs to your canine teeth, put on a cape, and head out for the night. Just make sure you get home before the sun comes up!
The Tooth Fairy
Did you know that there are different versions of the tooth fairy to different cultures around the world? Plus, because the tooth fairy is a fable, you can interpret the outfit however you want. Whether you put on a pair of wings and carry a wand or you’ve got a sack full of fake teeth (which would surely freak everyone out), you could have a little fun with this one!
An Orc
One of the most notable features of an orc is their incredibly large teeth and underbite. You can choose to be a classic green orc or take your costume to a darker and more mysterious place by modeling your outfit after the infamous Uruk-Hai from the Lord of the Rings. It’s up to you, but no matter which option you choose, get ready to wear some Halloween dental prosthetics!
A Dentist
While dressing up as a dentist is a little bit on-the-nose, it’s a classic costume! You can either go the pre-made route and find the entire outfit at your local Halloween store, or you can put together a more curated look by visiting your local medical supply store. The choice is yours!
