There is a difference between just straight teeth, and a beautiful smile. These are two smiles which have straight teeth, but they don’t look beautiful.
The reason for this is because a beautiful smile needs to have the teeth positioned so that:
1. There is the right amount of gum showing, and the gum line is in line with the upper lip;
2. The biting edges of the teeth are in line with the lower lip.
Before and After Creating Not Just Straight Teeth, but a Beautiful Smile
SD came in wanting to straighten her teeth.
After detailed discussion and planning with ‘digital dentistry’, her orthodontic treatment was designed to facilitate not only straight teeth, but a beautiful smile:
Notice how after orthodontic treatment, SD has just the right amount of gum showing with the gum line being in line with the upper lip.
Also notice how the line joining the biting edges of the teeth match the shape of the lower lip. This creates a beautiful smile.
