"Woman at mirror"

One of the many ads that Pro-Brush used in which a woman is seen smiling into a mirror. This ad specifically addresses vanity and sex appeal issues, namely the tendency for people to trust their image rather than their instincts or emotions. The message conveyed is "I may feel confident in my interactions with others, but that doesn't matter if I have rotting teeth." This was a message that Pro-Brush conveyed in many of its advertisements.
