The smile Solution smile how to make yours perfect.
An esthetically pleasing smile is an attractive quality that lures people to you, making them immediately respond positively to a first impression, before you’ve uttered a single word.

lips and to each other. In just one example, without being too technical, the width of your upper
central incisor should be in the Golden Proportion to the width of the lateral incisor.

parallel to your lower lip when you smile. Furthermore, both sets of teeth should look similar
and complement your hair, skin and eye color.
The starting point of any smile makeover is the facial midline, an imaginary vertical
line drawn between the front 2 upper teeth. For optimal esthetic value, the facial midline should
