Abstract:
A smile is one of the most important traits of a person’s face. It is considered one of the key elements in the context of dentofacial esthetics. It can be evaluated with the help of photographs and it is done in dentistry mostly for registering the patients data. Perception of an esthetic smile varies from person to person, and it depends a lot on people's experiences, social status, race and culture. This study is done in order to evaluate how an orthodontically treated smile is, in comparison with that of a normal occlusion. It helps determine the ideal position of the anterior teeth during treatment to get an esthetic appearance. 50 orthodontic patients reporting to the Department of Orthodontics, Saveetha Dental College were evaluated. The pre-treatment and post- treatment frontal photographs of the patients while smiling were taken from records and used to conduct a survey. The survey was conducted among 100 undergraduate students to assess their knowledge and perspective regarding smile esthetics. 10 questions pertaining to various aspects of an esthetic smile were included in the survey. Majority of the undergraduate students were of the opinion that orthodontic treatment improved the smile esthetics of the patient.
