Step 1 - Research - Realize there are a few kinds of smiles. Get at a magazine and look at the pictures with people who are smiling. Chose the smile you want to emulate.
Step 2 - Squint - Go to a mirror and face it. Notice your lip and cheekbone muscle movement by squinting a little. This should slightly stretch those muscles. The purpose to this exercise is to give you a sense of your face muscles, and how they operate.
Step 3 - Lip Stretch - Close your lips and try to smile. Do not show any teeth if you can help it. It should feel as though there is an upturn in both corners of your lips.
Step 4 - Imaginary Strings - Imagine there are strings attached to both ends of your lips at their corners. Now imagine you are pulling down on them through holes in your ear lobes. this will automatically make your lips stretch into a smile.
Step 5 - Drop Bottom Lip - Depending on your physical ability drop your bottom lip a small degree to show some teeth if desired. You should notice you will need to relax your lip stretch a little to make sure the smile looks more natural.
Step 6 - Practice Smiling- Practice this method of smiling for a month. Make sure you go to a mirror at each session. You will see a monumental difference in your smile because you are practicing and train your face muscles. Pretty soon you will automatically be able to create an immediate, nice smile for yourself.

Practice your smile in the mirror. Try excited smiles, genuine smiles..etc. Also try white strips to make your teeth whitened if needed.
hey, i'm 14 as well and i also ended up gettin' horrible smiles in my photos.
but the last photo i got looks good coz i was natural and smiling ear to ear all the way!!
i think if you try to remain a little bit less self consious during photo sessions,it may help coz worrying about how U you look reflects in your face,and that's the main problem which makes smiles appear weird. try being natural and smiley all the time ,it's surely gonna help!!
P.S. sorry if you have trouble understandin' my english,coz i'm not really good at it!
