March 20 is the International Day of Happiness, proclaimed in 2012. The presence (or absence) of a smile on the face is one of the key indicators of how happy a person feels. It is difficult to sincerely enjoy life with a gloomy face.
At the same time, the ability to smile beautifully not only helps you look better in photographs, but also changes the tone of your speech. Radio DJs know this - they always smile when speaking into the microphone. At the same time, learning to smile is not so difficult - the main thing is to regularly practice this habit.
The smile looks symmetrical
The basis of a beautiful smile is symmetry, that is, one half of the lips should be symmetrical to the other. When smiling, about 40 different facial muscles work, but they are all trained differently, which is why the smile often turns out to be asymmetrical.
Facial muscles can be trained with simple exercises (these exercises will not only make your smile perfect, but will also help avoid the appearance of facial wrinkles and improve diction).
- Purse your lips, pull them into a tube and hold them in this position for a few seconds. Then relax your lips. Repeat 5-8 times.
- Close your lips tightly, stretch them forward and try to make a figure eight with them. Then relax your muscles. Repeat the exercise 2-3 times.
- Stick out your tongue, clasp it tightly with your lips and hold this position for a few seconds, then relax the muscles of your lips and tongue as much as possible. Repeat five times.
- Stretch your lips into an unnaturally wide smile, and then relax them. Repeat five times.
Dental question: show or hide
If everything is fine with your teeth, then there is absolutely no point in hiding them, holding back joyful emotions. It has been proven that a person who laughs at least 30 minutes a day improves immunity by 85% and increases resistance to various diseases. How to learn to smile beautifully with teeth?
- Don't expose your gums when laughing.
- Don't open your mouth too wide.
- Keep your mouth clean, regularly whiten your teeth at home or undergo special cleanings at the dentist.
Only people with perfect teeth can smile from ear to ear. You can carry out comprehensive oral hygiene and teeth whitening at Dentistry in Moscow.
The smile looks sincere
They say that stars have been training to smile correctly for years, and some have their smiles even “put on” by image specialists.
To independently find the very shape that suits you completely, you need to train in front of the mirror and, of course, visit the dentist at least once a year.
By the way, on the Internet there are many photographs of stars before the dentist has worked on them thoroughly. Believe me, their smiles were very far from ideal. Demi Moore once admitted that she invested more than $12,000 in her teeth.
However, nothing will help you if your smile is insincere and forced. A positive attitude, cheerfulness and openness to the world will make any smile irresistible.

Parallelism of horizontal landmarks.
One of the most important signs of a harmonious smile is the parallelism of imaginary lines: the interpupillary line (in the picture there is a blue line connecting the right and left pupil of the eye) and the lip line (in the picture there is a red line drawn between the corners of the mouth).
Both of these lines should also be parallel to the lines connecting the edges of the central incisors (green) and the incisal cusps of the canines (blue)
What to do if your bad mood won't let go
You don’t always have a good mood; how can you keep your face up if you want to cry? Try to have a slight smile on your face, not to glow like a copper teapot, but to “bloom” sweetly and easily.
Even if you are in a bad mood, there is no need to frown; cheerful, friendly facial expressions will act on others like hypnosis.
You will see that people will treat you with care and kindness. And this attitude will make your mood much better.
Try to remember a funny joke or a pleasant event, such as your baby's first steps. A kind smile will involuntarily play on your face.
Why do you need to do exercises?
By strengthening your facial muscles, you will be able to freely use your facial expressions and create a sincere smile.
And sincerity can disarm any enemy, improve relations with a strict boss, and quickly conclude a business agreement.
When you feel like crying out of despair, blur out from your heart and you will feel much better. You will soon feel that your sadness is not so terrible, you will want to have fun and laugh. If you made a mistake, a shy smile will help smooth it out. Children use this technique and everything is forgiven for them.
If a person has grief or sadness, try to help him by simply smiling, encouraging, helping with advice.
Causes of anomalies
Let's look at the main reasons why defects occur:
- Genetic factor. Mesial and distal occlusion are most often inherited. For parents, knowing about the high risk of such a defect occurring in their child, it is easier to control treatment in childhood, during the formation of the maxillofacial system.
- Developmental anomalies in the prenatal period. Various pregnancy pathologies can often affect the formation of the fetal dental system.
- Birth injury. Mesial occlusion is caused by displacement or dislocation of the baby's lower jaw during difficult childbirth.
- “Wrong” habits in childhood. These include constant pacifier or finger sucking, improper nipple latching, and improper sucking during bottle feeding. If the hole in the nipple is too large, the child’s lower jaw practically does not work when sucking and remains undeveloped.
- Frequent sinusitis and rhinitis, due to which the child constantly breathes through his mouth. With such breathing, the development of facial bones is disrupted.
- Violation of tooth change. Early removal of baby teeth often causes abnormal maxillofacial development.
- Incorrect prosthetics, lack of prosthetics.
- Hypertonicity of the masticatory muscles due to stress provokes abrasion of the incisors and displacement of the jaws.
- Various injuries of the maxillofacial area.
Tricks for getting fresh lips
Don't forget to keep your teeth and lips in order and wear appropriate makeup. After all, only fresh lips and white teeth will charm your chosen one. How can a girl achieve fresh and soft lips? This is not possible without constant care.
Try massage first. This manipulation promotes a rush of blood, causing the lips to become plump and beautiful:
- First, grease them with vegetable oil.
- Take a toothbrush and move it across your lips in different directions for 4-7 minutes several times a day.
- Lubricate them with honey, cinnamon oil, mint oil, do not rinse for 5-10 minutes. To get a lasting effect, do the procedure every day.
To add plumpness to your lips, purchase hyaluronic acid at the pharmacy. Grind a couple of tablets, mix with Vaseline, lubricate your lips without going beyond the contour, hold for 10 minutes, rinse with water.
Cosmetics will help you quickly get a fresh mouth. First, outline your lips with a pencil, then apply gloss. Apply a darker shade to the corners and contours of your lips, and paint the rest of the space with a lighter shade. And then smile using beautiful facial expressions.

"Golden proportion".
The principle of the golden proportion in relation to a smile in aesthetic dentistry is that when looking at it from the front strictly in the center, the ratio of the apparent width of the front teeth should be approximately the following - 0.6 (width of the canine): 1 (width of the lateral incisor): 1.6 (width of the central incisor ).
As can be seen in the photo, the width of the visible part of the remaining teeth (4s, 5s) should consistently decrease, creating a sense of perspective.
Vertical symmetry and midline.
A line passing through the center of the face should pass exactly between the central incisors of the upper jaw. The discrepancy between these lines causes a feeling of disharmony even with a quick glance at your smile from the outside. In this case, it is not at all necessary that it also passes between the central lower incisors. Firstly, a complete match is rarely found, and secondly, this in no way affects the aesthetic perception of your smile when viewed from the outside.
Interincisal angles.
Interincisal angles are the spaces between the cutting edges of the anterior group of teeth.
With the harmonious construction of teeth, these angles should gradually increase from the center to the periphery: from a small closed angle between the central incisors, to a more direct and even open angle between the 2nd and 3rd teeth.
Tooth wear leads to a decrease or complete absence of interincisal angles, which makes the patient look older when he smiles.
At the same time, “female” teeth are characterized by rounded corners of the incisors, while “male” teeth are characterized by straighter ones.
Practical recommendations
- Practice in front of a mirror, achieving facial symmetry. Smile as much as possible, strengthening your muscles. After some time of intensive manipulation, the face will get used to it. The result will become obvious.
- Always try to show a radiant smile, charming those around you. Do it from the bottom of your heart with glowing eyes. Otherwise, the smile will look unnatural, implying malice.
- Try to allocate funds for dental defects. Ultimately, you will be able to laugh out loud without any embarrassment. You don’t have to try to hide your sincere laughter by turning to the side or covering yourself with your hand.
- After dental surgery, carefully monitor the condition of your teeth. Use whitening systematically and give up bad habits. Drink less coffee and black tea.
- Don't forget to keep your lips toned. Use nourishing cosmetics in your daily life. Give up the habit of licking your lips, especially in the wind.

Interdental gingival papillae.
The gingival papilla is the part of the gum that fills the interdental space (marked with lines in the photo).
The location and appearance of the papillae is determined by the underlying bone, which has exactly the same contour. In the most optimal option, the tops of the gingival papillae are located as in the photo (marked with dots) - between the central incisors the gingival papilla is longest, and gradually its length decreases towards the periphery. Moreover, they should all have a healthy appearance - a triangular shape with a sharp apex, pink color, no swelling.
With various periodontal diseases, as well as with improperly performed restorations, the gingival papilla may become inflamed, acquiring a darker (or even bluish) color, losing its pointed shape, or may even disappear completely. At the same time, unaesthetic black spaces form between the teeth.

Position of cutting edges.
The cutting edges of the central group of teeth are also located at different levels. For the central incisors and canines - approximately at the same level, for the lateral incisors - slightly higher (as marked by lines in the photo).
Again, due to the abrasion of teeth with age, the cutting edges of the teeth become at the same level, the line connecting them takes on a straight rather than convex appearance, and sometimes (with increased pathological abrasion) even concave. Therefore, to make a smile more “youthful,” you need to return the relationship of the cutting edges to a harmonious one.
It can also be noted that the dominance of the central incisors over the lateral incisors and canines also gives the smile a more youthful appearance.
The dominance of the canines, their sharp, prominent cutting cusps, make the smile more aggressive. This effect is based on the fact that in nature, long, sharp, well-developed fangs are characteristic of predators, whose entire philosophy of existence is based on aggression towards their prey.
Proportions of the tooth.
The central incisors of the upper jaw always attract special attention, because... best visible when talking and smiling. Therefore, it is very important that their proportions are correct. The most harmonious looking teeth are those with a ratio of tooth width to length of approximately 0.7-0.8: 1
However, at different ages this ratio may change. Due to the physiological wear of teeth in older age, this ratio tends to be 1:1. Therefore, if you want to “rejuvenate” your smile, you usually need to increase the length of the tooth.
