But what if you’ve been looking for ways to make your smile stand out for a while? Well, millennials like us don’t need to spend a fortune on the most luxurious ways to get and finally show off our perfect pearly white grin. For those who want their smiles to be picture-perfect, we have put together some of the main traits that define a beautiful smile. Getting that bright smile is just a few steps away, so read on and let’s find out what it takes.
Symmetry
Just like our face, having perfectly aligned teeth that are the same size and shape is key to having a beautiful smile. If your teeth are slightly crooked or unevenly spaced, you can still have a stunning smile if they’re well-balanced. But what if you feel like your teeth aren’t that symmetry? Fortunately, dentistry technology such as braces and Invisalign can help close gaps, adjust the shape and size of teeth, and make minor corrections. It’s also worth mentioning that once you’ve gotten your teeth aligned and symmetry, your jawline will be chiseled, just like those Hollywood celebs.
Teeth and Gum Color
The teeth and gum color of a bright smile are another important part of creating the perfect picture. Teeth should be bright white and free from any discoloration or yellowing. Gums should also have an even pink hue that matches your skin tone. There are many ways to whiten your teeth, such as home remedies with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, whitening strips, and professional dental bleaching. For those who prefer a more natural way to get your teeth brighter, you can try Activated Charcoal toothpaste or even oil pulling with coconut oil.
Smile Arc
The “smile arc” is the curve of your teeth when you flash a genuine smile. It should be smooth and uniform, with no gaps where teeth are missing or overlapping. If there are visible problems, such as chips, cracks, or discoloration on your front teeth, it can ruin the overall look of your smile. The best way to fix these issues is to get dental veneers, thin porcelain shells that fit over the front of your teeth and can be customized in shape, size, and color.
Buccal Corridor
Do you ever wonder why some people have a wide, straight-toothed smile that lights up their whole face? It’s all about the buccal corridor: the area between the sides of your mouth and your gums. This space should be even and relatively dark to offset the brightness of your teeth. If it’s too light, your teeth will seem smaller, and if it’s too dark, your face can appear sunken or droopy. Orthodontic treatment, such as braces, can help correct the buccal corridor Simply put, having all the above traits will give you a picture-perfect smile. With the right treatment, it’s possible to achieve that Hollywood A-lister grin in no time.
