Smile Design In Turkey

Smile design is a procedure that allows for providing a smile specific to the face, by a combined practice of dentistry and art. Firstly, a healthy smile is planned based on your personal demands and the recommendations of your physician. Smile design is planned depending on your age, gender, facial shape, occupation and character. The most important point of smile design is that it restructures your smile while protecting your health and naturalness. When starting smile design, first the geometric shape suitable for your facial contours is identified. This is because the features of a person give the passwords of the required form of the teeth. Man and woman anatomies are completely different from each other. In women, the transition areas of the facial contours are softer, and the nasal hum and eyebrow arches are less prominent. In men, facial contours look sharper and more prominent. Their forehead, nose and chin ratio differs from that of women. In women, the tooth corners are softer, and the two teeth in the middle are longer than the ones at the sides. There are also small gaps between the corners of the neighboring teeth. In addition, the smiling line exhibits an upward curve. In men, the teeth lines are more prominent, and the neighboring teeth look flatter. In addition, the smiling line in men draws a slighter curve than that in women. Thanks to the smile design procedure, you can also get more healthy teeth in every respect.
