58. Beauty Breakthrough #1: Understand the components of a beautiful smile© New York Smile Design 201033

59. Component #1: LipsThe lips have been compared to a frame that sets off the image of your smileEnhancing or correcting the shape, fullness and symmetry of your lips can make your smile seem fullerFor optimal esthetics, your facial features should line up to your teeth and lip linesWhen your lips form a broad smile, an imaginary line can be drawn through the corners of the mouthThe right amount of upper front tooth revealed below this line helps create a vibrant, youthful image© New York Smile Design 201034

60. Component #2: The MidlineThe starting point of any smile design is the facial midline – the imaginary vertical line drawn between the front two upper teethFor optimal esthetic value, the facial midline should be in the middle of the faceThe most accurate approach to determining the facial midline focuses on two facial landmarks:a point between the eyebrows and the Cupid's bow in the center of the upper lipBy drawing a line between these landmarks, dentists can locate the position of the facial midline while also determining the midline's direction© New York Smile Design 201035

61. Component #4: The Smile LineYour smile line is the line created by the top of your lower lipIn an ideal smile line, the edges of your upper teeth should be parallel to your lower lip when you smileThe bottom of your lower lip should have the same line as the gums of your lower jawThis should always be a standard, regardless of the size or shape of your smile© New York Smile Design 201036

62. Component #4: TeethAttractive smiles have various things in common: WhitenessUnstainedStraightEvenly spaced No gaps betweenNot crowded or overlappingWhen you smile, your top teeth should show in just the right proportion to your gumsThe line where the gums and teeth meet should be smooth and even© New York Smile Design 201037

87. Making an investment in cosmetic dentistry is a big decisionCalling up a cosmetic dentist in the phone book isn’t going to produce the desired results from your investmentJust because you know a cosmetic dentist or your friend does, does not mean you will receive the optimal resultsCosmetic dentistry is an art and a scienceThere are even certified cosmetic dentists who have not mastered both the art and scienceSo, how do you protect yourself?© New York Smile Design 201051

88. General dentist are not always qualified cosmetic dentistsThere are many unfortunate cases in which a dentist, who may be a nice person and very knowledgeable in general dentistry, ends up "practicing" cosmetic dentistry on the patientIn many cases, these unfortunate patients now have no legal recourse after their cosmetic dentistry mistake, because the dental care they received was average care for general dentists, even though it was far short of the standard of care for cosmetic dentistry© New York Smile Design 201052
