Answer: The Principle of Divine Proportion
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT HIGHLY SKILLED COSMETIC DENTISTS LIKE DR. FALTER use Leonardo da Vinci’s “Principle of Divine Proportion” when they design smiles? Beautiful smiles are proportioned to consider many factors—including your lifestyle, age, and physical characteristics. Additionally, they must also take other truisms of your teeth into account—including the fact that teeth tend to get shorter with wear as we age.
Dr. Falter uses his inspiration and artistic tools to create a smile you love, much like an oil painter working on a canvas.In some cases, teeth are lengthened or shorted through procedural and design techniques, while other times veneers are considered to widen your teeth or broaden your smile. Crowns bring subtle, yet totally different dimensions to facial proportions. It’s a fusion of science and art.
Just for kicks, look into a mirror and ask yourself the following questions:
– From my nose to chin, does it divide into thirds again?
– How does my face divide horizontally into thirds?
– If I look vertically, can I divide it into fifths, each eye being 1/5?
– Can I draw a vertical line from my pupil to a corner of my mouth?
It is interesting to see mother nature’s intricate connections to artistic principles.
Dr. Falter adds that “Cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile are absolutely worth the investment. There’s nothing more fulfilling for our team than witnessing the life-changing transformation that often takes place for many of our patients through smile makeovers.”
