Digital Smile Design
The presentation of the final version of the smile to the person without any operation on the teeth prior to beginning treatment is referred to as a digital smile design. It can be summarized as combining naturalness to a healthy, ideal smile. Digital smile design is primarily based on the analysis of the patient’s facial and oral ratios using high-quality digital photos and videos. The analysis of facial movements using digital data aids in determining the relationship between smile lines, teeth, gums, and lips. A number of calculations on photographs are used to design the appropriate smile. It is recommended that the smile design and treatment procedure be carried out by a team of specialists in order to achieve more aesthetic results.
Benefits of A Digital Smile Design
- Smile design can rejuvenate your smile for longer than Botox or other temporary procedures. An investment in your smile is one of the most significant steps in improving your overall appearance.
- Our smiles fade away due to aging, wear, chipping, and discoloration. This can happen gradually and can be very embarrassing. Smile design can get you to smile freely again.
- With the latest technology, it’s now possible for patients to test-drive the design of their smile and see what it will look like before they decide to undergo any treatment. Before Digital Smile Design software came along, it was only possible for patients to visualize their new smiles on 3D wax mouth models, which still didn’t clearly show how the restored teeth would look inside the mouth. However, thanks to the latest technology, patients now can visualize their new smiles clearly.
