WHAT IS SMILE DESIGN?
You may have probably
heard that a smile requires less number of muscles than that is needed for
frowning. However, considering that the most important factor that prevents
smiling is the dental health, most of the people fails to enjoy smiling. If you
think that 'I wish I had whiter and more proper teeth" when waking up in
the morning and, looking in a mirror, then you have already taken the first
step towards the smile design. First, a complicated examination and, then a
proper planning are required. The features, gender, age, smile symmetry, the
order and colors of the teeth, the lips and the gingiva are the factors that
define the characteristics of an aesthetic smile.

TECNIQUES ARE USED DURING THE SMILE DESIGN?

planned considering the preferences of the respective person. Therefore, it may
take a longer time or, it is possible to complete the procedure in a shorter
period. The procedures start with informing the patient about the oral
structure and dental health. The patient is informed about certain points about
the oral health and the dental health that they already know about or they are
not aware of. An analysis is conducted about problems with the teeth
arrangement, and how the teeth are closed or the gums. Based on this analysis,
a decision is made on
the order of the procedures to be performed. The types of treatments to be
carried out are identified.
