Many aesthetic and functional dental problems can be corrected in smile design. Here are the main problems that can be solved with smile design:
1. Tooth Discoloration and Stains
• Over time, discoloration or yellowing may occur in teeth with factors such as coffee, tea, cigarettes. In the smile design, the color of the teeth is corrected with teeth whitening or porcelain veneers and a brighter, whiter appearance is given.
2. Crooked and Irregular Teeth
• The alignment of the teeth and the lack of a proper arrangement is one of the important factors that disrupt the aesthetics of the smile. Crossed teeth can be corrected by using orthodontic treatment methods (braces or transparent plaques).
3. Gum Problems
• Aesthetic problems such as excessive appearance of gums (gummy smile) or gum recession are corrected with laser or surgical interventions. Thus, harmony between the gums and teeth is achieved and an aesthetically pleasing smile is obtained.
4. Missing Teeth
• Missing teeth can be completed through implants or bridges in smile design. Tooth deficiencies affect not only aesthetics but also chewing function, so solutions such as implants provide long-term and aesthetic results.
5. Excessive Abrasion or Fracture of Teeth
• Over the years, wear, cracking or fractures may occur in the teeth. In smile design, such problems are corrected with porcelain laminate (veneer) or crown veneers and the teeth are restored to their former solid and aesthetic structure.
6. Size and Shape of Teeth
• The dimensions and shapes of the teeth may not be compatible with the facial structure and other teeth. In smile design, the size, shape and length of the teeth are rearranged. A more symmetrical and harmonious tooth structure is created.
7. Spaces Between Teeth (Diastema)
• Gaps between teeth (diastema) can cause aesthetic problems. In smile design, these gaps are covered with coatings, bonding applications or orthodontic treatment to obtain an aesthetic appearance.
These problems are effectively corrected with different aesthetic and functional treatment methods used in smile design. Smile design offers a comprehensive solution that both improves the aesthetic appearance and improves the health and function of the teeth.
