CHANGE YOUR SMILE

WITNESS THE CHANGE A NEW SMILE CREATES IN YOUR LIFE

“Everything starts with your smile”

CONFRONTATION

Life always tests us. The way that will bring health, success and peace in this seemingly endless test is to evaluate and confront the existing conditions objectively. It is having the audacity to change or gladly accept what we see as our shortcomings.

The positive effect of a smile and its benefits for human health are undeniable. It is obvious that those who do not miss the smile, which is described as the most suitable doctor, are more impressive individuals. Your smile plays the biggest role in your perception of yourself and the impact you have on those around you. Studies show that smiling is much more effective on the attraction between you and the opposite sex than physical characteristics such as eyes, hair and body type. Smiling is thought to have a valuable place in finding the right person.

Laughing is much more than you think. An impressive smile opens all the doors in front of you, washes all the roughness between you and a full, wealthy life. If you are not happy with your smile, it may be holding you back from embracing life fully and the opportunities that will come your way. There is a belief in society that people with nice teeth are more sociable. People with healthy and aesthetic teeth in business life can find a job or get a promotion more easily. A pleasant smile is seen by more than one as the golden key to success in business life. Unsightly teeth overshadow the rest of the exterior. In addition, studies reveal that smiling also has to do with hygiene. It is believed that the personal hygiene of people whose teeth look unhealthy may not be appropriate.

Are you ready for a new smile? You probably thought that if you had longer teeth, you would feel more confident in your professional life. Or you said that if I had whiter and brighter teeth, my social circle would be wider.

If you are not happy with your smile, it is probably time to have a new one. Well, are you sure that the teeth are the cause of the dissatisfaction in your smile?

If you are unhappy with your appearance, you actually know it. The challenge is to identify where there is a need for innovation. Most of us mistakenly think that our facial imperfections are due to our smile. In fact, the flaws may lie elsewhere. In this case, instead of dental treatment, plastic surgery or a new hairstyle or an actual make-up may be much more beneficial. Are you looking to change your smile? Are you ready to test yourself?

*Ronald E Goldstein, Change your smile, Quintessence, fourth edition

The smile test is the evaluation of the harmony of your teeth with your lips and face in order to achieve an ideal smile. In the smile analysis, some basic criteria are evaluated and how your individual smile structure should be planned. It is determined which medical processes will be used for a natural, healthy and attractive smile.

• Your age, gender, personality traits and lifestyle
• Your laugh line
• The health of your gums and the relationship between lips and gums
• Tooth-gum relationship
• Condition and size of your teeth
• The contours and surface structures of your teeth
• The harmony and symmetry of the line in the middle of your two front teeth, called the middle line, with your face.
• Ratios of teeth to each other and as a group
• The ratio of the size of the teeth to your face
• Lip relationship with cutting edge
• Crowded teeth and your alignment
• The closure of your jaws and the position of your maxillofacial skeleton
• Many criteria are taken into account, such as your old restorations and their treatment.

Therefore, it is not valuable for the teeth to be pleasant alone in Aesthetic Dentistry. The key word is harmony. Harmony with the face, harmony with the smile, harmony with the lifestyle….

I wish you healthy and bright days;
