A beautiful and pleasant smile is everyone’s dream. A smile gives a beautiful face to a person, and if this smile is beautiful, it makes a person’s face doubly pleasant. Many people avoid laughing because of the poor condition of their teeth and gums. Fortunately, in recent years, new methods and techniques have been developed to beautify the smile, which are called smile design modification.
Modify the smile design
There are many beauty and treatment methods to correct laughter and smile that are different for each person. In recent years, for example, a beautiful smile has been called the Hollywood smile. If you pay attention, the smiles of actors and celebrities are very beautiful and pleasant. That’s why people use the term Hollywood smile to refer to beautiful smiles and related teeth.
Correcting the smile design eliminates all the defects of the teeth and gums. The methods that dentists use to modify the design of the smile can be general treatment methods or cosmetic methods, which we will examine below.
Smile design modification methods
Therapeutic and cosmetic methods to improve the design of the smile can be one or more of the following methods:
Dental laminate: Dental laminate is one of the beauty treatments that has become popular in many countries in recent years. No one is unfamiliar with this beauty treatment. There are different types of dental laminates and they are not suitable for everyone. If you have irregular teeth, there is a large gap between your teeth, you can use this cosmetic treatment. Laminate is composed of thin layers of different materials. To stick them on the teeth, a mold must be made from the teeth. Coatings are made based on molds in the laboratory. Depending on the type of laminate veneer on the teeth, some teeth must be shaved. Laminates are generally of two types. Each of them has different types. Ceramic laminate, composite. Laminate is by no means recommended for healthy and tidy teeth.
Composite: As mentioned above, composite is a type of dental laminate. With the difference that its strength and life is less and also the amount of teeth grinding for composite is low. No molding is required to glue the composite, and you can composite your teeth in the very first session.
Gum lift: This method, which is sometimes considered as a treatment method, is one of the periodontal surgeries. In this method, the gums are pulled up. Dentists sometimes have to perform gum lifts to increase the length of the crown. For example, if the crown length of the tooth is too short to attach the veneer, gum lift surgery should be performed. In some people, part of the gums appears when laughing. This type of laughter is called a gingival smile. A gingival smile does not look good and a gingival lift should be performed to correct it. In this surgery, part of the gum is removed and usually, no stitches are needed.
Dental orthodontics: One of the most common methods for arranging teeth has been orthodontics since ancient times. This treatment takes at least a year, depending on the type of teeth. Orthodontics is not recommended in the elderly. But teens and young adults can use this method to tidy up their teeth. The price of orthodontic treatment depends on the position of the teeth and the duration of treatment. This is not an immediate treatment and you have to be patient to get your teeth in order.
Dental crowns: When the root of the tooth is healthy but the crown of the tooth is gone, the best way to restore the tooth is veneers. In some people, the use of dental laminate and composite is not suitable, so the dentist prefers to use veneers to maintain the appearance of the teeth. Although veneers are often used for canines, veneers can also be used for front teeth.
There are different types of dental veneers and prices are calculated based on their material. The best type of dental veneer is zirconia veneer.
Tooth bleaching:
Some people have regular teeth but do not have a beautiful smile due to the bad color of their teeth. Modifying the smile pattern in these people is bleaching or whitening teeth. In this method, the surface of the teeth is polished with special materials. Bleaching is associated with scaling and does not harm the teeth
Leave the choice of any of the above methods to correct the smile design to your dentist. Note that a person may need several treatments to correct the smile pattern.
