Pearly whites

Getting your smile camera-ready requires a fair amount of prep work. While choice of fave colour is a personal preference, the universal consensus is white when it comes to our teeth. If your choppers have yellowed with age, try a whitening product or visit your dentist. Mending cracked, broken, or missing teeth will certainly make your smile more attractive. Do not neglect the care of your gums too as they play an important supporting role to up your smile appeal. Keep them in good shape with regular brushing and flossing and say no to cigarette smoking. Your teeth can look great, but if your gums aren’t healthy, that detracts from your smile.

Lip Service

Balance with Botox

Do you know that besides banishing wrinkles to give you a more youthful look, Botox when administered into the appropriate facial muscles, can be used to beautify the smiles of some? With aging, hyperactivity of two perioral muscles, the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) at the corners of the mouth and the Mentalis muscle of the chin can lead to the unflattering “droppy mouth syndrome” or “old maid’s scowl”. Botox microinjections at times supplemented with a touch of judiciously placed Natural Fillers can easily tackle such downturned lips to restore affected smiles to their former glory. For people that smile aggressively, Botox can be cleverly used by experienced injectors to decrease the amount of gum shown.According to dentists and cosmetic surgeons, the ‘ideal smile’ sees the upper lip drape over the top of the teeth, with only two millimeters of gum showing. Anything over three to four millimeters of gum showing starts to look “gummy” and less pleasing. Botox works by paralyzing the hyperactive muscles in the upper lip, reducing its elevation and ultimately reducing the inhibiting “gummy smile” of those affected.
