Smile Design (Digital Smile Design)

A conceptual protocol used to plan aesthetic treatments. It involves taking high-resolution photos and videos of the patient talking and smiling, then using software to design the ideal tooth shapes based on facial proportions.

Why It Matters

It removes the guesswork. Patients can see a "Mock-Up" (temporary plastic version) in their mouth to approve the look before any actual drilling or ceramic work begins.

Clinical Details

• Key Factors: Midline symmetry, smile curve, tooth proportions (Golden Ratio).
