How is smile design carried out?
Part 1
In Smile Design the photographs taken by the dentists are very important. In dental photography, both teeth and surrounding tissues are photographed. For the information to be transferred to the dental laboratory, taking measurements as well as photographs is important for a 3 dimensional smile design. Videos are also taken to examine which parts of the mouth are showing while the patient is talking and laughing in order to determine what can be done with the teeth for optimal facial beauty.

Part 2
Professional photography is undoubtedly of great importance in smile design, especially for the evaluation of facial ratios and oral details. In dental photography, macro shots are performed to assess the position, size and color of the teeth. These photos are taken from different angles. In dental photography, the reflection of the lower and upper jaw tooth arch is taken by using a specially produced intra-oral photo mirror. If necessary, millimeter measurement is performed with special face arches to examine facial ratios. With panoramic films the harmony of the jaw bones and the position and health of the teeth in the alveolar bone are examined. Cephalometric films are used to evaluate the position of the lower jaw in relation to the upper jaw. As a result of the films and detailed dental examination, a treatment plan for optimal smile is made.
What is the Smile Line?
The smile line is the intraoral window, which is seen when the patient fully contracts the smile muscles. For the smile line the upper teeth, the lower edges of the lip and the upper gums must be seen in a certain golden ratio. In patients with a deep smile line, the upper gums are visible more than normally. This is called gummy smile. The gummy smile casts a shadow on a beautiful smile, which we don’t want. Patients with gummy smile have many alternative treatment options.
What are pink aesthetics in smile design?
Pink aesthetics include beautiful gums that surround the teeth. Criteria such as symmetrical gum levels and the gum color being light pink, which is a healthy gum color without them bleeding, are the key points evaluated for pink aesthetics. When the smile muscles are fully contracted the smile line appears, where the upper teeth replace the upper lip. It is evaluated how much teeth and pink gums are seen within this smile line.
Are age and gender important in smile design?
Criteria for the optimal smile differ for women and men. Since women have a more oval face, an oval contoured tooth shape is more aesthetic. For men, more sharp-lined tooth forms are planned. Angular formed teeth better reflect the aesthetic difference between genders. Age is also an important criteria in smile design. Because with age a decrease in the facial muscle tone occurs. Corrosion in the enamel layer of the teeth, in other words in the hard tissue, causes the person to lose their self-confidence. The patient becomes afraid of smiling and showing his/her teeth. In order for the patient to regain confidence we recommend a smile design treatment.
