Smile Analysis
Q: I'm not happy with my smile. How do I find out what really needs to be fixed?
A: Get out a mirror and do this quick "smile analysis." Then meet with your dentist
and talk about getting the smile you want. Color: Generally, tooth color should be
fairly uniform. The white of your eyes are a good indicator for the brightness of your
teeth.
Shape: Does the shape of your teeth balance your facial features? For example, if
you have large features (lips, nose and eyes) tiny teeth may look out of proportion.
Length: Generally, when you are young, your two front teeth are longer than your
two laterals. Reproducing this look gives one a younger appearance.
Position: Are your six upper front teeth all on the same plane? If any of these are
recessed or crooked, it shows when you smile. |
