For a surgeon or even a dental
practitioner, it is imperative to know and understand Facial aesthetics. If a dentist is, doing treatment that will alter
a patient’s facial look and appearance than they should have good knowledge
about it. It is important to follow aesthetic principles while performing even
the simplest procedure for tooth coloring or restorations; it will ensure the
treatment is optimal clinical and aesthetic results. In aesthetic dentistry,
the most innovative technique that are high, demand for teeth whitening.
The
dentist should make sure that aesthetic improvement should not be limited to
the teeth. It should also improve areas around the teeth.
There are certain anatomical points
that should consider in Facial
aesthetics. The mid-line of the face is the line that bisects face into
right and left sides. This imaginary line must adjoin the incisors. It should
fall directly in the middle of the columns known as philtral columns. The most
important part of the smile design process is the mid-line of the teeth. A next
line to be considered during a Facial
aesthetics is the horizontal line that lies between the eyes.
The use of
this line is to guide bottom edges of the front teeth in the upper jaw. The
horizontal line from the one corner often leaps to another identifies the plane
of the incisor edges. For the best smile deign front teeth should follow this
horizontal line. In case if the movement of the lip is not symmetrical, the
planned edges are modified slightly to follow the horizontal line.
The horizontal line, which lies from
the widest part of the cheekbones, is the ideal width of the upper central
incisors. The line that constitutes the ideal width of mouth while smiling is
the vertical line commencing the pupil of our eye to the curve of our mouth. A
smile is important in Facial aesthetics.
The curve of the lower lip should be aligned with the imaginary curve line from
the edges of the upper teeth to the other edges.
It is an imaginary line, which
cannot be modified, but the edges can be modified in such a way that imaginary
line is in proper alignment. Another point to consider during the aesthetics is
smile profile. In an ideal smile's profile, the wet part of the lower lip
should be in contact with edges of upper incisors. The relationship between the
lower lips and upper incisors is imperative.
