Özet

In creating a naturally pleasing esthetic smile in smile design procedure, the clinician should use horizontal and vertical lines between anatomical landmarks of the face to produce harmonious form and balance between teeth, gingiva, lips, and face. A variety of essential facial landmarks are used for smile analysis, and these should be examined using guidelines for facial symmetry and proportions. In general, the concept of facial analysis comprises dividing the face horizontally into three equal thirds for optimal balance and pleasing proportions for achievement of a more attractive and harmonious face. In addition to facial evaluation through smile analysis, the clinician should also evaluate the lateral facial profile in collaboration with the orthodontist using cephalometric radiographs for appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan of a case.
