INTRODUCTOIN
IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE SMILE
•Gingival display
Morley ratio
·Lip thickness
·Intercommissure width
·Interlabial gap
·Gingival architecture
GENESIS OF A FULL SMILE
Stage -I
Stage -II
I stage
•Further elevation is
stopped by the cheek
fat
II stage
Further raising by 3 muscle
groups
muscle
• Zyg.major muscle
• Sup fibers of
buccinator
Squinting during smile
SMILE
CLASSIFICATION
High smile
Average smile
Low smile
HIGH SMILE
SMILE ARC
BUCCAL CORRIDORS
SMILE LINE /LIP
LINE
High smile line
Medium smile line
Low smile line
Reverse smile line
HIGH SMILE LINE / GINGIVAL
SMILE LINE
Exposes a lot of gum tissue above the front
teeth
MEDIUM SMILE LINE
Shows upto but doesn't include the upper
gum line of the front teeth
•Central incisors are longer & wider than the
lateral incisors
•Cuspids are more pointed & same length as
the centrals
•Tissue fills in the space
between the teeth nicely
& frames their beautiful
LOW SMILE
LINE
Doesn't reveal the gingiva at all, the tooth
wear can eventually make the person appear
as if he/she has no front teeth
REVERSE SMILE LINE
Types
ARC
Maxillary incisal curvature is flatter than
the curvature of the lower lip on smile
NEGATIVE SPACE [BUCCAL
CORRIDOR]
Full smile
The teeth should fill the corners of the
smile & this is commonly referred to as full
smile
GENDER DIFFERENCE IN
SMILE
Male - Low smile line
TYPE
Female – High smile line
INTERLABIAL GAP
Greater in females
AGE DIFFERENCE IN SMILE
TYPES
Lip coverage of the maxillary incisors
increases with age
High smile is common among younger
age group
MALOCCLUSIONS
Flat smile arc
•Brachyfacial growth pattern
Overintrusion of anteriors
upper incisors tend to hide behind the lip
which worsens with age
MAXILLARY INCISOR
INTRUSION ?
Maxillary incisors should be moved in the
vertical direction that improves their
relationship to the resting lip position
Combination of orthodontic
periodontal
surgical therapy
DIAGNOSIS
Clinical examination
Photographs
Study models
Cephalogram
Smile analysis
CLINICAL
EXAMINATION
1. Upper lip line
refers to the upper lip line at
maximum smile
2. Upper lip length
measured independently in a
relaxed position when the mandible is
in occlusal rest position
Upper lip
18mm or less
•Rest position
•Maximum smile
Upper tooth to lip
relationship
1 to 5mm
Disharmony
• / anatomic upper lip length
• / maxillary skeletal length
•Thick upper lips
•The angle of view
Angle of view
•Patient’s height
•Observer’s height
Normal –1 to 5mm
Factors affecting interlabial
gap
Gender
Lip length
Vertical dentoskeletal height
Increased interlabial gap
•Overbite
•Overjet

INFLUENCING SMILE
LINE
SOFT TISSUE
DENTAL
SKELETAL
Soft tissue factors
1. Philtrum height
Adolescent
philtrum height is shorter than the
commissure height due to differential
in vertical lip growth
Adults
A short philtrum in an adult results in
an unesthetic reverse resting maxillary
lip line
2. COMMISSURE HEIGHT
Adults
2to 3mm greater than the philtrum
height
Adolescence
several mm greater than philtrum
Drooping of the commissures height
due to aging & facial jowling
corrected by Rhytidectomy [face lift]
3. Lip incompetence /Interlabial gap
•Short philtrum
•Vertical maxillary excess
•Excessive overjet
Matthews 1978-JPD
interlabial gap was highly related to
gummy smile
Dental factors
1. Incisor show
At rest
On smile
10.6mm in males
9.5mm in females
Factors influencing crown height
Open bite
Convex profile
VERTICAL MAXILLARY DEFICIENCY
ESTHETIC AND
FUNCTIONAL SMILE
It must be understood that there is no
universal ‘ideal’ smile

Treatment of excessive incisor show at
rest
treatment considerations
Adolescents
Incisor show
4-5mm –Observation
self correction by growth of lips
6-8mm – Intrusion of maxillary
incisors

Periodontist
Prosthodontist
The various procedures, that requires the
team effort are the following
Simple gingivectomy
Cosmetic contouring
Veneering
