What creates a beautiful smile?
Part 2: Smile line
Did you know your lips and gums help frame your smile?
Your smile line describes how much of your upper teeth and gums shows when you smile. This affects how long your teeth appear and the overall balance of your smile.
A higher smile line reveals more teeth and gums, while a lower smile line reveals less.
There’s no single smile line that suits everyone. A beautiful smile is about how your teeth, gums and lips work together with your face — and showing some gum is perfectly natural.
