How to do your own Smile Analysis

• “Mother Nature” gifted some people with great smiles, many are left wishing that they hadn’t been overlooked. While you may know a nice smile when you see it, it’s harder to explain exactly what makes a nice smile

• There is both a science and an art to creating and restoring attractive smiles.

• Having a pretty smile goes way beyond whiter teeth.

• Size, shape, alignment and proportion, (or what the Greeks called the “Golden Proportion”) are also important parameters of beauty.

• Attractive smiles are attractive because they follow these mathematical rules of nature to create harmony, symmetry, and proportion. Oh – and the fact that your teeth are whiter – that’s a bonus!
