When a (usually) heroic character does something awesome, it usually merits a celebration. For certain characters it involves a clenched fist of determination and a smile, showing teeth so white and spotless that they twinkle, sporting the combination of a tiny Lens Flare and an Audible Gleam. This is supposed to signify their impeccable moral values and spotless physical splendor. Of course, it's usually done ironically, often with the character posing directly to the camera. Note that this is different from when teeth sparkle menacingly to show how sharp they are and how bad the impending bite is going to hurt. For those cases, see Audible Sharpness. In slightly more realistic circumstances, someone's smile might also sparkle because of a gold tooth. See also Bishie Sparkle and Wink "Ding!", other sparkly ways to denote grandeur. When combined with a Fascinating Eyebrow and Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes, you get a DreamWorks Face. See also Eternally Pearly-White Teeth. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Prince Sidon can hardly get through a conversation without doing this at least once, and sometimes twice. The Champions' Ballad DLC shows he started as a child. He's much less eager to in Tears of the Kingdom due to the crisis that Zora's Domain is facing... but once he gets a pep-talk from his fiancée Yona, he flashes a shiny grin at Link before joining him for the dungeon. Even further emphasized in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity: Using Sidon's ZR ability without attacking will make him do the pose, which will both create a minor suction effect and damage enemies, meaning that, given enough time, Sidon could use his smile to defeat the forces of Ganon! |

In World of Warcraft during Hallow's End (the annual in-game Halloween event), there's a chance each time you trick-or-treat that you'll get 10 toothpicks. When you use one of these toothpicks, you gain the "impeccable smile" buff for the next 60 seconds, during which a visible gleam animation shows up on your mouth every few seconds. | |

Shun Mitaka from Maison Ikkoku has this trait. In fact, "Shun" means "twinkle", and the trait runs in the family, with his parents beaming sparkling smiles and later his children. When Godai first meets Mitaka, they engage in twinkle-to-twinkle combat. Don't forget his dog Godai's grandmother will occasionally use one of these across the entire length of her Cheshire Cat Grin. Much shining was had when she met Mitaka for the first time. |

Kim Kaphwan in The King of Fighters has this as one of his winning poses. Considering the lengths to which he goes to purge evil from the world, there's a bit of irony in there as well. | |

Wonder Woman: Season 1 and the first eight episodes of Season 2 featured an animated to live-action Title Sequence. In both sequences, Steve Trevor had a Twinkle Smile while Wonder Woman's eyes similarly sparkled. This was Lyle Waggoner's trademark that was also seen in The Carol Burnett Show. | |

NCIS: In the backstory of the early season 4 episode "Escaped", McGee fell asleep and overbleached his teeth. He goes through the entire episode keeping his lips resolutely shut so that no one will see his too-white teeth. At the very end, the team learns Gibbs has returned from his 10-Minute Retirement. The end-of-episode shot (where the still goes monochrome) is McGee grinning from ear to ear with a twinkle in his teeth, complete with the appropriate sound effect. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie does a variation of this after demonstrating she's able to dispel illusionary "monsters" by laughing at them. She smiles a white, toothy smile, but it's her eye that gleams. (The sound effect also seems to be a part of the magic being undone rather than Audible Gleam but otherwise, you'd have two in a row.) In the episode "A Friend In Deed", during the musical number "Smile", one of the many background poniesnote Namely the one named Cherry Berry does this. |

Doctor Who: They joke about this trope on the DVD commentary during Captain Jack's debut. John Barrowman has that kind of face. Of all people, the Master does this in the new series when at the height of his power. Something of a lampshading in "Voyage of the Damned": When the Doctor meets Max Capricorn in person, Max smiles complete with the twinkle and Audible Gleam, to which the Doctor asks "It really does that?" When Strax complains about the Fourth Doctor's personality in the "Deep Breath" cinema prequel, a slide of the Fourth Doctor doing his signature Cheshire Cat Grin is flashed on the screen with a "ding" sound. |

Night and Day repeatedly superimposes a cartoon-like twinkle (complete with Audible Gleam) on the teeth of character Django Doyle; he's a cheesy pop star and superficially charming chap, and on the surface, this trope is used to imply a kind of physical perfection. However, the show blurs the border between this and Audible Sharpness as it becomes clear he's in fact come to town with the intention of murdering his father. His shark-like quality is played upon repeatedly, to the extent that he is often seen lurking menacingly in the Doyles' hot-tub, and at one point performs a fairly disturbing rendition of the song 'Mack the Knife' (which references sharks repeatedly). | |

For one of the appearances of Sabrina the Teenage Witch's father, he had the magical natural ability to do this every time he smiled. When he felt down and depressed he lost it but by the end of the episode the shine has come back. The gag was never carried over to other later appearances due to a mix of neither needing the visual cue of being happy or sad nor having as attractive and dashing looking an actor for the part later on. | |
