Vital elements of smile designing
1. Dental midline:
It refers to the vertical contact interface between two central incisors.
Maxillary and mandibular midlines do not coincide in 75% of cases.
2. Incisal lengths (incisal edge position):
2 mm of incisal edge should show at rest and 2 mm of gingival show when smiling.
3. Tooth dimensions:
The width to length ratio of the central’s should be approximately 4:5.
4. Relative proportion of adjacent teeth:
When viewed from the facial, width of each anterior tooth is 60% of the width of the adjacent tooth.
5. Zenith point( most apical position of cervical tooth margin):
It should lie distal to the centre of the tooth.
6. Tooth inclination:
From central to canine, there should be increase in mesial inclination.
7. Interdental area and contact point (broad zone between two adjacent teeth):
It moves apically as we move from central to canine.
Advantages:
1. High satisfaction with their new smile.
2. Truly customized results- no two smile designs are exactly alike.
3. A natural look that complements overall appearance.
4. Increased confidence after treatment.
