Smile Designing

The mouth is the most potent factor in making or marring the beauty and character of face and form. The word 'esthetics' comes from the Greek word 'aistheticos', meaning of 'sense perception'. "Esthetics is a branch of philosophy dealing with beauty and beautiful, especially with judgment of taste concerning them". Esthetics has become increasingly important in the practice of modern dentistry and is synonymous with a natural, harmonious appearance. It influences to a large extent the social acceptance and well being of the individual. A more esthetically pleasing face generally is more symmetrically and better proportioned than one that is less esthetically pleasing.
