All of us use our smiles instinctively to express our feelings. An ideal smile has a combination of following features and one of Dr. Sood’s treatment goal is to try to achieve these Wide Smile features for his patients when possible.
The Types of Smile is usually reflective of the mood and the social setting we are in. We use Different Smile depending on the situation we are in.
Commissure Smile
Social Smile
Spontaneous Smile
This zone is defined by the “social 6” teeth, gums and the extent and the shape of the lips.
This is the relationship of the curvature made by the edges of the upper teeth with the curvature of the lower lip. Careful treatment planning can allow movement and alignment of the front teeth to create harmony with the lower lip for your ideal smile arc.
It is characteristic of the aging process that people show less of their teeth with time, so a greater amount of teeth display is usually associated with youthfulness.
This is the small black space visible at the corner of the mouth and is dependent on the broadness of the smile and the shape of the mouth. Excessive or reduced space can have a significant effect on the balance of a Smile Mouth.
The prominence of the front teeth is defined by their inclinations. Most Smile Shapes are proportionate with teeth with minimal inclinations, while others look more aesthetic with increased inclinations. In general, too large an inclination is not preferred, and many times can be the reason to seek orthodontic treatment.
