The Smile Arc

Image
The smile arc is defined as the contour of the incisal edges of the maxillary anterior teeth relative to the curvature of the lower lip during a social smile. For best appearance, the contour of these teeth should match that of the lower lip.   Shown below are patients with beautiful smile arcs created by Dr. Nguyen.
