There are a number of ways to analyze your smile. We regularly use two different approaches:-

The Emotional Evaluation.

The Objective Analysis.

The Emotional Smile Evaluation

The Emotional Smile Evaluation is based on each individual's subjective perceptions of his or her smile. The questions below are designed to help reveal a person's inner feelings about how their smile affects their self image, how it impacts interactions with others, and how it influences the quality of their relationships.

  • Do you like the appearance of your teeth and smile?
  • Do you ever turn your face when smiling or hold your hand up in front of your mouth when talking to others?
  • Have you ever found yourself looking at models or other people with beautiful smiles and wishing you had a similar smile?
  • Have you figured out a way to use your lips to cover any aspect of your smile?
  • Are you embarrassed to visit a dentist knowledgeable and focused on cosmetics due to the condition of your teeth or the length of time since your last visit to a dentist?
  • How does your smile make you feel? Confident?
  • Do you shy away from showing a full smile in front of other people, especially strangers?
  • When taking pictures, do you tend to smile with your lips closed instead of flashing a happy smile?
  • Have you ever held back a laugh because you felt uncomfortable about your smile?
  • How would a beautiful new smile make you feel?
  • What would you like to change about your smile?

The Objective Smile Analysis

For the Objective Analysis, the best thing is for you to stand in front of a mirror mounted on a wall. Now, smile at yourself using your "normal" smile. Next, look at the mirror and think of a hilarious moment in your life and give a big, laughing smile. This big smile is probably a much larger smile than you feel comfortable using much of the time if you are not happy with your teeth. When your smile is improved, however, your big smile appears much more spontaneously because you look and feel great! So let's figure out what's holding your big smile back -- what it is that bothers you about your teeth.

What makes a great smile?

A great smile automatically lifts a person's confidence and makes them feel more attractive. Ultimately it is the one that is right for you, whether it is a white Hollywood smile or a more natural appearance, whichever you decide it is all about symmetry and natural balance!

Symmetry - Symmetry around the centreline of our face is of great importance for an aesthetically pleasing smile. Even when this is not 100% possible, the illusion of symmetry should be created. The front two upper central incisors should be symmetrical in size, length and shape.

Symmetry

Horizontal Alignment - Ideally the smile line should be aligned so it is parallel to the horizontal.

Horizontal Alignment

Smile Line - The edges of your upper teeth should be parallel to the lower lip when you smile.

Smile Line

Gum Line - The Gum Line connects the highest points of the gum levels of the upper teeth. Ideally this line should follow the line of the upper lip, to ensure minimum gum exposure and optimum display of the teeth on smiling.

Gum Line

Smile Width - With a narrow smile the side teeth are often in shadow. A wider smile allows one to see the ideal progression from the front to the back teeth, this is more attractive!

Smile Width

Golden Proportion - The rule of Golden Proportion describes an ideal ratio of the visible widths of the front six teeth.

Golden Proportion

Tooth Proportion - These are the guidelines for the ideal proportions of each tooth to achieve a beautiful smile.

Tooth Proportion

Embrasures - Embrasures are the small triangular spaces between the tips of the teeth. These are artistically created by the ceramist and dentist to ensure a natural look.

Embrasures

Lips - Lips are to teeth as a frame is to a picture! The shape, fullness and symmetry of lips can optimise the ideal smile.
