In face and smile design, we no longer focus only on the person’s teeth. With new generation technologies, we are making personalized face and smile designs at the point where dentistry has reached the world. In this concept; We focus on the person’s face proportions, lower-upper jaw relationships, skeletal and soft tissue support and the tissues around the lips. We take digital photos and videos before treatment and planning. We look at criteria such as the person’s face proportions, lip position and thickness, lip support of the teeth, gingival visibility, distance between the lip and nose, whether the chin is forward or backward, the ratio of the lower face height to the teeth. the entire face, skin color. In order to optimize the data we collect, we create a personalized treatment plan in a computer environment using the golden ratio data.

Aesthetic concerns about smiling negatively affect social life and also cause loss of self-confidence. Therefore, the most important aesthetic concerns are the healthy and harmonious appearance of teeth and surrounding tissues. Every smile is unique to each person, and when viewed from this perspective, smile design can be done easier and better with today’s technologies.

Smile design planned in a digital environment includes the aesthetic results dreamed of by the doctor and the patient, while ensuring the professional progress of the process and minimizing the margin of error.

What is Face and Smile Design?

Face and smile design is the planning of factors such as face proportions and face shapes, position and volume of jaw bones, alignment and shape of teeth, position and volume of gums, position of lips by determining ideal ratios. With the development of the latest technology, three-dimensional examination of X-rays, development of digital intraoral scanners and observation of design results before the procedure thanks to special programming have made it possible to make face and smile design in a healthier and more predictable way. A smile design plan is created by taking into account the person’s aesthetic expectations with digital records taken during actions such as speaking and laughing. Thanks to detailed planning, restorations with high tissue compatibility can be made.

What are the Contributions of Face and Smile Design?

By recording with digital scanners, treatment results can be observed before the procedures begin. During these recordings, deformations caused by materials such as impression materials are prevented, and restorations with higher tissue compatibility and sensitivity can be planned thanks to three-dimensional imaging. The ability to track treatments in a computer environment and transfer them to technicians not only shortens the process, but also allows them to be recorded and re-evaluated when desired. With face and smile designs; each person can achieve an ideal result by protecting their own natural tissues from their unique aesthetic concerns, and thus safely participate in social life.

What are the Expectations and Applications in Face and Smile Design?

First of all, the person’s aesthetic concerns are evaluated together with the current situation. In cases where jaw relationships are disturbed, the lower or upper jaw is skeletally positioned more forward, or the jaws are long or short, or there is facial asymmetry and aesthetic concerns about the appearance of the teeth; ideal facial proportions are determined and a treatment plan is created that includes hard and soft tissues. In addition, in cases where the size or color harmony of the teeth does not meet aesthetic expectations, restorative procedures such as dental laminates and whitening procedures can be planned by taking into account the person’s age and gender along with the face shape. Gum arrangements such as asymmetry in the appearance of the gums, called pink aesthetics, or complaints about excessive appearance can also be designed specifically for the person.

What are the Smile Designs Applied on the Gums?

Depending on the different positions or thicknesses of the gums, aesthetic and functional expectations may not be met. Due to excessive gum visibility during smiling, planning and cutting the gums in accordance with the person’s teeth and face is an important part of facial and smile design. Similarly, sometimes due to the asymmetric position of the gums, the teeth may appear in different positions, these problems can be eliminated with pink aesthetics and laser or cautery devices. Thick gums can also be thinned with similar applications, and their compatibility with the teeth and surrounding tissues can be designed. In this way, since the visibility ratios of the teeth are idealized, symmetrical and facially compatible aesthetic results are obtained.

Can Irregular Teeth Be Corrected with Smile Design?

Some of the aesthetic concerns in smiles are related to dental crookedness. After the amount and areas of these crookedness are determined with digital measurements, orthodontic wire treatments or transparent plate treatments can be planned by preserving the existing tissues and the treatment results can be observed in advance. Apart from these arrangements, treatment options can be offered with e-max laminates or porcelain and zirconium coatings depending on the suitability. These procedures can be designed in a computer environment. Apart from these, existing minimal crookedness can be masked with composite fillings with bonding applications.

Can Teeth Shapes Be Adjusted with Smile Design?

E-max laminates, zirconium and porcelain coatings and prosthetic dental coatings applied without cutting teeth can be planned by determining the ideal tooth size and position with designs on digital measurements with face and smile design. These plans can be evaluated with patients before the procedure, examined in a computer environment and transferred directly to the laboratory environment. Healthy results can be obtained thanks to its advantages such as reducing treatment sessions and facilitating technician-doctor cooperation. The ideal tooth color can be selected with restorations that are suitable for gum and face color.

What Should Be Done Before Planning Face and Smile Design?

In order to make the right plan, the mouth and surrounding tissues must be healthy. Therefore, existing infections must be eliminated during dental examinations. Therefore, the primary goal is to regain oral health. Treatment of tartar or gum inflammation, infected caries and root canal treatments are important for an ideal and permanent smile design. Attention should be paid to examination processes and information, as different areas of expertise can plan together and produce a more multidisciplinary and successful study. It should be known that plans are evaluated and idealized accordingly, considering that each person’s tissues and health status are different. In the presence of disease or infection in the oral or extraoral tissues, the priority is to protect oral health and plans can be made for facial and smile design in the future. While making these plans, the healthiest and tissue-compatible alternatives are permanently preferred by physicians and very effective positive results can be obtained depending on aesthetic expectations.
