The Hassle of Smile Design

Abstract

A PERFECT SMILE: The Power, the Passion, and the Path to Success.

Smile design means “planning a perfect smile”. It is based on general principles of aesthetics, mathematics (about proportions) and the sense of the dentist. Key aspects for proper aesthetic evaluations of teeth involved in the smile as well as appropriate treatment plans are a comprehensive analysis of the face and the mouth and a morphological study of proportions in comparison with the patient’s character and emotional traits.

In recent years, smile design has become a crucial tool for preliminary aesthetic assessments of patients’ mouth and face features and proportions. Digital technologies, vital part of our nowadays life, feed the whole system.

A systematic approach aimed at a correct diagnosis of each clinical case is usually based on preliminary assessments such as general medical history, general dental evaluation, orthodontic assessment, functional objective analysis, emotional smile analysis, assessment of aesthetic expectations, aesthetic objective analysis (or smile analysis).

Different approaches of digital smile design are now available including 2D and 3D systems and softwares.  Knowing the capabilities and limitations of theses systems improves their use and application in the smile makeover cases.
