Which Smile Line is Best?

Published in Dental Aesthetics 1 min read

The "best" smile line is generally considered to be one where the edges of your upper teeth are parallel to your lower lip when you smile. This creates a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Here's a breakdown of what constitutes an ideal smile line:

  • Parallel Alignment: The curve of your upper teeth should mirror the curve of your lower lip.
  • Lower Lip Symmetry: The bottom of your lower lip should align with the gum line of your lower jaw.
  • Consistency: This standard remains consistent, regardless of the specific size or shape of your smile.

While personal preferences exist, this parallel alignment is often seen as the most attractive and harmonious smile line. Achieving this can sometimes involve cosmetic dentistry procedures.
