Smile Analysis in Orthodontics

Bys: M. I., Ravikiran and Somaiah, Sanju

Smile analysis in orthodontics is a comprehensive evaluation of dental and facial aesthetics during dynamic expression. It integrates tooth display, gingival exposure, smile arc, buccal corridors, and lip dynamics. Emphasis is placed on harmony between teeth, lips, and facial proportions rather than static occlusion alone. Key parameters include incisal show at rest and during smiling, consonance of the smile arc, and symmetry. It guides diagnosis, treatment planning, and finishing to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes. A well-executed smile analysis ensures functional efficiency while enhancing facial attractiveness.
