There are numerous variables that reflect smile aesthetics, like the smile line, smile arc, smile level, upper lip curvature, lip fullness, and tooth display. Each of these variables is handled one by one based on the patient’s health and expectations. Then, a harmonious whole is created from all these factors, achieving a beautiful smile.
Smile design may be a subjective design, but often only a single value is accepted as correct for some of these variables. These can be listed as follows:
What Do We Pay Attention to When Performing Smile Aesthetics Treatment in Our Clinic in Antalya?
Smile design may be a subjective design, but often only a single value is accepted as correct for some of these variables. These can be listed as follows:
Smile Line:Another name for the smile line is the lip line. Lip line is classified as high, moderate, or low. High lip lines show the gums more than needed. In low lip lines, the upper lip curves downward, allowing only two-thirds of the upper teeth to be visible. So, the lip line is expected to be moderate for an aesthetic smile.
Smile Arc: The smile arc is the gap between the tip of the front teeth and the lower lip line. This arc can be observed in three ways as parallel, straight, or reverse. For an aesthetic smile, the smile arc should be parallel.
Upper Lip Curvature: This is the angle between the midpoint of the upper lip and the edges of the lip. The edges of the lip may be positioned at the same level with the midpoint or below or above it. The desired curvature for an aesthetic smile is that the edges are located above the midpoint.
