toothy grin
Smile showing teeth
A toothy grin is a broad smile that shows the teeth, suggesting uninhibited enthusiasm or mischief: He flashed a toothy grin and waved at the camera.
The expression often implies something slightly excessive or cartoonish about the smile—more teeth than strictly necessary.
