It may be subconscious, but there are certain traits about it that will either make it attractive or unattractive to you. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what it is about some smiles that you just love, you\u2019re about to find out! Keep reading to learn the characteristics that make up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onpointdentistryfrisco.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">beautiful smile<\/a> and how you can have the smile of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s in a Smile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A smile speaks volumes about you, from your personality to your level of intellect. Here are some of the primary traits that make a smile attractive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Color of Your Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures for a reason! Having unsightly stains or yellowing on your teeth can rob your smile of its beauty. The great news is, your dentist has state-of-the-art professional treatment to brighten your teeth several shades in under an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Gums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you consider your smile, you probably primarily think of your teeth, but your gums play a large role in its attractiveness as well. Nearly half of the United States population alone suffers from gum disease. This infection of the gums can cause them to be swollen and red, which not only increases the risk of tooth loss but also makes a smile look less attractive. If you think you may be suffering from it, be sure to see your dentist as soon as possible to begin treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0If you have excess soft tissue that is covering more of your teeth than it should, you might have a \u201cgummy\u201d smile. This can cause your teeth to appear too small in proportion to your mouth. Your dentist can actually recontour your gums with a painless and quick procedure that will leave your smile looking flawless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incisal Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your central incisors, or \u201ctwo front teeth\u201d should be the longest teeth in your upper row. These teeth should be symmetrical, and the length of the adjacent teeth should create an upward curve. If your teeth are different lengths, it can cause your smile to appear a bit off-putting. This is where solutions such as porcelain veneers can help to correct flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is an apostrophe missing for a reason. The cant of your smile refers to the tilt of your teeth. Ideally, your teeth should sit straight up and down, but some people have teeth that either tilt too far forward or backward. Teeth straightening options like Invisalign clear braces can help to correct this issue, giving you a smile that you\u2019ll be proud to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spacing Between Teeth and Overbite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you have teeth that overlap one another, or perhaps it\u2019s the opposite case and there is too much space in between two or more teeth. Even if you have beautiful white teeth, irregular spacing can take away from the overall look of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common dental issue is an overbite. This occurs when the upper row of teeth is too far forward due to jaw misalignment. There should be very little space in between your upper and lower rows of teeth when you smile, and if there is too much, it can look abnormal. Both spacing and bite are other cases where Invisalign can be a great solution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been wanting to transform your smile, don\u2019t wait any longer! There has never been a better time to talk to your dentist about cosmetic dental treatment and regain your confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for the highest quality of cosmetic dental treatment, then look no further than Dr. Marco Caballeros at On Point Dentistry.
