World Oral Health Day 2021: What to do for a picture-perfect smile?

A smile is not often referred to the teeth and gums. It goes beyond that. Smile is not only morphology but is morph psychology. Irrespective of whatever teeth you have, if you're happy, it's a happy smile; when you go for exams, it's a nervous smile, and when you give your condolence, it is a sad smile. So, when an individual smiles, it's seen in the eyes, and it also adds to your personality to showcase your confidence as an individual.

World Oral Health Day is observed annually on March 20 to raise awareness for the importance of good oral hygiene and the issues regarding it. So, on this day, dental surgeon, Dr. Sandesh Mayekar, shares some exclusive tips on how to have a picture-perfect smile and have aligned teeth.

What to do for a picture-perfect smile?

1. If your teeth are perfect and alignment is a problem, then one can go in for braces treatment. Now there are transparent aligners. One must not get carried away by commercial advertisements while opting for branded aligners. Regular transparent braces from inside cannot be seen from outside and misaligned teeth can be put into alignment.

2. But sometimes, people will have gaps in their teeth because the size of the teeth is small. Then in those cases, the proposition of teeth and the jaw don’t match with each other. In this case, one can opt for a cosmetic procedure that is called VVS so that your teeth are of a natural size to the jaw.

3. If your teeth are discoloured due to the consumption of medicines in childhood like intrinsic tooth stains or you have brushed too much, or the teeth are yellow, especially ladies who consume lime juice for the stomach. Their enamel goes up very fast, and teeth become yellow and small. In those cases, dental experts suggest veneers to get back the original size and colour of the teeth.
