How is a smile design done?

In smile design treatment, intraoral and extraoral photographs of the patient are taken, along with video recordings during speech, to evaluate the condition of the teeth. Then, according to digital design programs, many parameters such as the patient's facial proportions, tooth size, gum levels, age, and occupation are considered to create an ideal smile that is harmonious with their facial features. These planned smile models are then printed using 3D printers. Using a mock-up process, the planned smile is transferred to the patient's mouth using temporary materials used in dentistry. At this stage of smile design, the final smile is seen without any work being done on the patient's teeth. If the patient wants additional work regarding the size and shape of their teeth, they inform the dentist. The patient's speech and tooth contact are also evaluated by the dentist. Before any aesthetic procedures necessary for a beautiful smile are performed, the dentist determines whether additional treatments such as orthodontic treatment or implants are required.
