Hello.
We are The Square Dental Clinic,
explaining based on the harmony of the smile.

“I'm thinking of changing the shape of my front teeth a little...
Could it be done naturally?”
When we talk about esthetic prosthetics
in the treatment room,
we hear this question quite often.
The front teeth are the first to show when you smile.
So even if the tooth length or shape
changes just a little,
your impression can look different.
Questions like these naturally follow.
“Can I check the result in advance?”
So today,
when planning esthetic design,
we’ll explain the process of checking the result first:
Smiley Rehearsal.
Even with the same teeth,
the impression changes depending on the proportions.

The process of arranging the front teeth
is not explained simply by making the color brighter.
That is because several factors change together,
including
tooth length,
tooth proportions,
balance of shape,
and the position of the teeth visible when you smile.
So even with the same teeth,
if the length or proportions change a little,
the impression can look sharper.
On the other hand, if the corner shape or proportions change,
the overall mood can feel much softer.
Also, if the position of the teeth visible when you smile changes,
the feeling of the smile itself can change as well.

That is why people who are considering front tooth shape sometimes ask these questions.
"What if it looks more awkward than I expected?"
"Will the shape suit me?"
So we usually say this first.
Front tooth design
is not a process of deciding the direction right away;
it is a process of designing the result in advance.
That is why it is important to slowly check
what looks natural
and whether it harmonizes with the face.
Smiley Rehearsal,
a process of planning the design.

At The Square,
when planning a design,
we first proceed with a process called Smiley Rehearsal.
Simply put,
this is a process of checking the expected appearance
before proceeding with the front tooth design.
First, we precisely record the current dental condition
through a 3D oral scan.
At this stage,
we look at the position and shape of the teeth,
as well as the overall arrangement.
Based on the recorded data,
we analyze tooth length and proportions
and organize them into a tooth design direction
that fits the overall balance.

Then, in the next step,
we use computer simulation
to check the designed appearance on the screen.
So we can look at how the teeth will appear when smiling,
whether the length and proportions look natural,
and whether the overall balance of the smile feels awkward.
In addition, through this process,
we can also check in advance
whether the shape of the front teeth harmonizes with the face.
So before deciding the direction,
this is a process of checking the design
with a slightly more relaxed mindset.
The Smiley Rehearsal process checked inside the mouth

Another feature of Smiley Rehearsal
is that it does not end with simply checking on a screen.
We also proceed with a process of actually applying
the previously designed tooth shape inside the mouth.
So while looking in the mirror,
you can directly check how the front teeth look
and whether the balance of the smile feels natural.
You can also look at the feeling when smiling
and the proportion of the tooth length together,
which helps you understand the design
in a more realistic way.

So in this process, comments like these naturally come up.
"I think it would be better if the teeth looked a little longer"
"I think it would feel more natural if the shape were a little rounder"
As these opinions are shared,
we can organize the design direction once more.
So before moving on to the actual treatment stage,
there is a process of adjusting the tooth shape once again.

When we explain this process,
we usually say this.
You can think of front tooth design
as a process of rehearsing first.
Just like checking the overall flow through rehearsal
before going on stage.

Esthetic prosthetics
are not simply about changing the visible part.
Several factors need to be considered together,
including tooth length,
proportions,
and chewing balance.
That is why, when planning front tooth design,
it is important to look at the tooth structure
and the overall balance together.
At The Square,
through the 3D scan,
tooth design,
and Smiley Rehearsal process,
we first check the overall design.
Through this process,
you can look at whether the shape and proportions
of the front teeth are natural,
and whether the balance of the smile feels awkward.
If you are considering esthetic prosthetics
due to changes in the shape or color of your front teeth,
it may be good to start with a process
of checking the result first.
