Intro And Basics:

The smile is a distinguishing feature of each person. There are countless types of smiles, however, in dentistry and especially referring to dental aesthetics, some differences can cause very different reactions and can also be percieved differently by others, so in dentistry we commonly try to strive for an aesthetically pleasing smile also known as " The Hollywood smile".
Teeth can ascend you by multiple points and overall change ur entire quality of life, just ask people who got their teeth done how many compliments they get

Types of smiles:

High or gingival smile​

This is a type of smile that shows the full length of the teeth, as well as much of the gums, with a gum band at least 1 mm thick.

Medium smile​

An average smile is considered when it shows between 75 and 100% of the length of the upper teeth, as well as the interdental papillae, which is the part of the gum between the teeth. It is the most common among the population.

Low smile​

In contrast, in the low smile, less than 75% of the length of the teeth is shown when smiling. In this case, the lip covers a significant portion of the upper front teeth.

Inverted smile​

Much less common is the inverted smile, in which the smile line is reversed. That is, the lower teeth are shown, which are usually covered by the lower lip.
It may be a genetic characteristic or, in some cases, the result of natural or premature wear of the anterior teeth, which exposes the lower line.

Number of Teeth Shown:

The ideal number of teeth shown in a smile varies, but research suggests that 8 to 10 upper teeth but some even argue that it is actually 6 to 8 teeth (including the incisors, canines, and premolars) are typically the most aesthetically pleasing. This creates a balanced, full smile. Showing fewer than 6 teeth can sometimes appear less expressive, while showing more than 10 teeth can sometimes seem overdone similar to what we see when people get poorly made veneers from latin america (not a diss to latinos)
They should be symmetrical and harmoniously aligned with the lip line. The upper front teeth (canine to canine) are the most prominent and the lateral premolars support the width of the smile.

Whitening of the Teeth:

Teeth that are whiter tend to be perceived as healthier and more attractive. Studies suggest that teeth that are whiter and brighter are generally preferred. However, overly white teeth (like those often seen in whitening treatments) may sometimes be perceived as unnatural.
Natural White vs. "Too White" A natural off-white or ivory shade tends to be considered more attractive than the extremely bright, almost blueish-white that some treatments produce. This is why a natural, pearly white shade often wins the aesthetic race.

In collaboration with that, there are a couple of foods to avoid eating excessively since they are known to stain teeth in the short-long run
This includes Foods such as:

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Red wine
4. Berries
5. Tomato sauce
6. Soy sauce
7. Curry
8. Balsamic vinegar
9. Sports drinks
10. Sweets (like candy and popsicles)
11. Fruit juices (especially grape, cranberry, and pomegranate)
12. Cola
13. Beet
14. Popsicles (especially colored ones)
15. Ice cream (with dark ingredients)

Smile Lines, Gum Lines ( Gummy Smiles )

The ideal smile line follows the contour of the lower lip. The top edge of the front teeth should follow the curve of the lips, creating a natural and attractive symmetry. When smiling, a minimal part of the gum should be visible (no more than 2-3 mm). If the gums are too prominent (“gum smile”), it can interfere with harmony. A correct gum line smoothly follows the contours of the teeth and is symmetrical.

View attachment 205216 A gummy smile is an example of the gums being too prominent which messes up the harmony of the teeth and ruins the smile we are aiming to achieve

Procedures And Fixes:

Teeth Alignment and Number of Teeth Shown when smiling
Before I continue I need to address that correcting any crookedness or gaps with orthodontic treatments like traditional braces or clear aligners (Invisalign) IS CRUCIAL This step sets the foundation for the aesthetics of your smile.
If this is not complete you will look like a complete idiot. Now, Achieving the right number of visible teeth (6-8 upper teeth) depends on making sure they’re properly aligned so this should fall right into place I also urge you to not get any removals of teeth (severe nerf)

Teeth Whitening
.Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide
.Crest 3d strips
.Laser teeth whitening

Smile Lines and Gum Lines ( Gummy smile)

This might involve cosmetic dentistry like gum contouring, or non-invasive options like Botox to reduce the appearance of a "gummy smile."
If gum exposure is a big issue, surgical options (like gingivectomy or lip repositioning surgery) could be considered these are largely genetic and are probably the only way to fix these.
