What are your favorite DAZ character smiles? Any generation, Genesis or non-Genesis. It can be a specific character whose smile always seemed to hit the sweet spot with you. Or it can correspond to a specific expression/morph set designed to work on any character across that generation. Please post your renders.
Hopefully it'll lead to a healthy discussion, however subjective, on what makes a DAZ smile "good" or not.

Akemi for G8F by Dieggo Masamune is a so-so character at best, BUT she comes with an amazing smile. It looks good on every character I tried.
Noemi's smile has been my favorite. I also dial in dimples from Emma and Jordi's Head Morph package (now found at their gumroad store).
20 Unique Smiles HD for Genesis 9
I find this one handy, although I never dial any of the smiles to their full strength.
My characters are all custom-dialed G9's, and I've found it can be reeeally hit or miss finding expressions that don't look hinky on them. (Maybe that's normal? I don't have enough experience to say.)
For smiles, my first three go-to sets are:
There are a lot of expressions in those sets that don't work for me, either, and sometimes there's a smile that'll look great on one character but odd on another (maybe just what I know of their personalities, too, I know that isn't "their" smile).
As a side note on that last one: I don't do "love and passion" sorts of renders, and most of those aren't anything one could consider a smile. But "#3 - Love" is a great subtle smile, and "#21 - Passion" is absolutely the look that happens with that first whiff from the coffee cup in the morning...
I've always wanted to give my characters a smile with wrinkled noses, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a dial that allows me to do that.
Alfan Expressions and PFA's Unique Smiles HD for Genesis 9 are unmatchable.
I'm trying to determine from the promos: does 20 Unique Smiles HD imbue the character's face with dimples, or does it merely enhance dimples already present in the existing mesh?
Here are a couple of shots of my non-dimpled character, the first with the Unique Smiles 10 morph at 50% and the second with it at 100%. You decide whether the dimples are there or not!
