Increase your confidence with a beautiful, healthy smile

By Christopher Blake


There are several characteristics that make a person's smile more attractive. We will be looking at some of these characteristics today.

The human face in proportion

Our perception of beauty is influenced by proportion. If your face is proportionate in all areas including the eyes, mouth and nose, then you are perceived to be more beautiful as this characteristic enhances your beauty, which adds to your confidence.

Your teeth in proportion

Most dentists can make your smile shine by ensuring that your teeth are in proportion and in symmetry with your overall face, both vertically and horizontally. Vertical symmetry is important because it ensures your face is even on both sides.

Its also important to have horizontal symmetry by lining your eyes with your overall smile. Again, your local dentist can help you with this.

For a symmetrical smile, its important that your upper teeth and gums line up with the curve of your lower lip. This also create the illusion of perfect symmetry, enhancing your smile and overall natural beauty.

Your smile width impacts your confidence

The width of your smile is quite important. Some of us don't even show our teeth when we smile, so we have to concentrate on making our lips beautiful. But yes, the wider your smile, the more teeth you are displaying, which makes it even more important to ensure that you have clean, white teeth.

Teeth whitening for a healthier, brighter smile

We all long for bright white teeth and there are several tooth whitening kits that you can purchase direct from your dentist. However, your teeth colour are determined by various characteristics such as lip colour, skin tone and existing teeth colour and discolouration, if any.

Your lips are the frame of your teeth

Your lips frame your teeth and your smile, hence, having beautifully symmetric and luscious looking lips, is very important.
