The eyes and smile of a person are the windows to their soul. Everyone wants a ‘perfect smile’ and are looking for solutions to improve their smiles. An attractive smile is the demand of every person looking forward to put their best impression on people that they work with or tend to meet every day.
Dental issues can alter the shape of your front teeth. There are certain dental health issues that might result in an unattractive smile.
Having stained front teeth is the most commonly reported causes of repelling smiles. This makes it the top most on the list of things that destroy your smile. Teeth get stained due to regular use of tobacco or alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. Certain food items like berries can also be the cause of staining of tooth.
Everyone has a different rate of growth and different genetics to decide their characteristics or appearances. Sometime a person can suffer from uneven gums or too much gum tissue showing when they smile.
Sometimes, improper eruption of permanent teeth after the baby teeth have fallen out can lead to a crooked tooth in the front row of the jaw that can make the smile look irregular. Crooked teeth can also harm the lips in the case of an accident.
Some complications during the growing years of a child can lead to misshapen jaws and teeth. With misshapen jaws or teeth, an overbite or under-bite can be observed and the teeth tend to grow in a forward direction out of the coverage of lips, making the smile look unattractive.
Cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics have the solutions for an irregular smile. Our dentists can help you get your dream smile and help you gain self-confidence to face the world. There are various procedures in dentistry for the improvement of a smile.
Teeth whitening is the general procedure used by dentists for patients with complains about a stained smile.
Uneven gums affect your smile. Gingival contouring is a procedure of cosmetic dentistry that allows you to have an even gum line over your teeth and have the perfect smile. The dentist first marks the areas from which gingival tissue (gums) are supposed be removed and made to look alike. A laser is then used to contour the gums and the lasers seal off the gums to prevent bleeding so you can have faster recovery.
If you have an issue with the shape or direction of growth of your teeth and jaw, you should consult an orthodontist who can suggest to you the best orthodontic devices that can cure crooked and misshapen teeth and can also curb the growth of your jaws in forward direction. Orthodontic devices like braces, retainers or Invisalign ® alignment trays can be used to treat the symptoms
