Smile Design (Smile Makeover)
What is smile design?Smile design uses the techniques of both the fine arts and dentistry to give you the ideal smile. It is the practice of planning a smile by combining your wishes with the principles of health and a sense of naturalness.
In determining the smile that will look best on you, the shape of your face as well as your gender, age, way of smiling, tooth position and color, lips, and gums all play an important role.
Smile design begins with determining the shape of your face. The lines of a person’s face tell us what form the lines of the teeth should follow. The anatomies of men and women are different.
The lines of men’s faces are sharper and more clearly visible. The forehead-nose-chin proportion in men is different from that of women. In women, the transitions are softer and the arches of the nose and brows are less pronounced. This pattern shows parallels in the teeth.
