In Comsetic Dentistry, Golden Ratio is one of the most important guide in designing dental restorations to improve a person’s smile.
If a person’s face is even, and has proper proportions, we would say this person is healthy looking and maybe further to say he/she is attractive. In the Renaissance period in Europe, Greek artists use the “Golden Ratio” to create sculptures of gods/goddesses and architects use the “Golden Ratio” to design buildings. Now, the scientists rediscover this golden ratio to be one of the most important factors in determining beauty.
Golden Ratio is a number of 1.6. For example, if the ratio of the length and the width of a face is 1.6, then this face is usually perceived as more attractive. Teeth can influence the length of a face. When some teeth are broken or missing, the lower jaw will become closer to the upper arch at its maximum closure. Thus, the face will appear to become shorter. Furthermore, if there is lack of teeth support, the cheek would become collapsed and appear sunken in. The lip and cheek would appear to have more wrinkles and this make a person to looking old.
A brilliant smile can make a person more attractive. In cosmetic dentistry, when we talk about a beautiful smile, we don’t just talk about lips. Teeth can influence a person’s smile. When you smile or talk with someone else, people can see your teeth. A nice clean looking teeth can change your impression upon other people. If your teeth is not crooked or stained. dentist can correct it with veneers. Teeth with proper proportion will make your smile more attractive.
