About

Smile Proportions is a small independent editorial project about the visual side of a smile: proportion, color, shape, shade, and the gum frame. It looks at how cosmetic dental work is planned around a face, and how a small change to one feature can alter the reading of another.

The publication exists to make aesthetic decisions easier to understand. A smile is not a row of isolated teeth, and a useful description has to include the lips, gums, expression, and light. We explain common terms and visual relationships without turning them into rules for individual readers.

Each piece is written as general editorial information. It can describe what a preview or treatment may change, but it cannot assess an individual mouth. Decisions about health or care depend on an examination by a qualified dentist. Our aim is careful observation and clear language, with no sales agenda.
