The Ideal Smile Profile

Almost anyone can have the ideal smile they dream about. But there is a great deal more to the perfect ideal smile than white teeth. Most people who look at a smile will look at the color and the alignment of the top and bottom teeth and notice whether teeth are crooked.

According to your cosmetic dentist in Preston, a filling or a crown that doesn't match natural tooth structure may also be noticed. But the teeth are only one of three equally important components of a ideal smile. The human mouth is a stage which is framed by the lips and the soft tissue that surround the teeth. If either of these deviates from the accepted norm, even if the teeth are straight and white, the smile may appear unsightly.

Your lips frame your gums and teeth. There is not much a Cosmetic dentist in Preston can do about the muscles and attachments of the lips. But the lips have a dominant role in your ideal smile. The lip-line is divided into three types; low, medium and high. A low lip-line means you show little or no tooth structure when you talk or smile.This is usually regarded as being the appearance of an older person, and definitely not the facial profile of the ideal smile .

Cosmetic dentist in Preston explains that ,The skin and muscles of the human face drop about 1 mm every 10 years, beginning at about age 40. This is due to gravity and a loss of tissue elasticity. As the muscles and skin drop, less tooth structure is seen, which contributes to an older appearance of a low lip-line. The older you are, less of the top teeth will be visible and more of the bottom teeth will be visible. A medium lip-line is one where the whole tooth shows when talking or smiling.

According to cosmetic dentist in Preston; Dr. Kaviani ,the line of the teeth generally follows the lower and upper lip-lines. This appearance, coupled with dominant front teeth, is considered as being the most desirable type of smile. A high lip-line is one where all of the front teeth and gum tissue above the top front teeth are visible. It can range from a little gum to a large amount of gum tissue visible. This is considered a less pleasing appearance.

The gum tissue surrounds the teeth. These tissues should fill in the space between teeth, so that all you see is gums and teeth -- no spaces. Where the teeth appear to come out of the gum, the gum should have a scalloped look. The gum should be situated higher on the central incisors , lower on the lateral incisors.

Your Cosmetic dentist in Preston believes that correct appearance is of primary importance in developing an ideal smile profile in a smile makeover process. If the height of the gum is too low or too high around a specific tooth or several teeth, even if the teeth are straight, they will look "wrong."

The teeth should generally follow the lip-line from left to right and should be proportionate to each other. Most often, a length to width ratio of 1.6:1 is desirable. Adjacent teeth also follow a similar proportional ratio when viewed straight on. If individual teeth are too long, wide, not in proportion to each other or not mirror images left to right, aesthetic problems result.

Prominent cosmetic dentist in Preston ; Dr.H. Kaviani can easily recognize these problems and offer suggestions for improved aesthetics. You may not know what is wrong with your teeth, but you know that you do not have the ideal smile you want. It may not be the teeth alone. The framing of the teeth by your lips and the architecture and position of the gums surrounding your teeth are two variables in a three-part equation for the ideal smile -yours!
