Digital smile design is a digital mode that helps us create and project the new smile design by obtaining a simulation and pre-visualization of the final result of the proposed treatment.
The main goal of an aesthetic treatment is patient satisfaction and the result of the treatment meeting the patient’s expectation of improving facial aesthetics and smile. DSD is a technical tool used to digitally design and modify patients’ smiles and help them pre-visualize their smile before physically starting treatment, by creating and presenting a digital mock-up of their new smile design.
A digitally generated design involves the participation of patients in the design processes of their own smiles.
DSD can also be described as a multi-use conceptual tool that can support diagnostic insight, improve communication and increase the predictability of treatment by allowing careful analysis of facial and dental features of the patient that may have gone unnoticed by clinical, photographic or diagnostic cast-based assessment procedures.
What are DSD Operations?
A complete facial and dental analysis, since it is based on preliminary photographs on which the changes and design are formulated, accurate photographic documentation is essential. In addition , smile for dynamic analysis of teeth, gums, lips and face, A video documentation is required to integrate with the face during laughter and speech.
How does the Photo Protocol Work?
The basis ofsmile design is commissural lines, Since they are based on facial reference lines such as the lip line and the interpupillary line, The photographs taken must be extremely high quality and precise, with the correct posture and standard techniques. At the beginning of your treatment , your physician will guide you and ensure that the best photographs are taken for documentation.
What is the Purpose of Video Documentation?
A static photograph taken at a specific time cannot guarantee the ideal moment captured in the ideal resting position and a true maximum full smile position. Videos help to allow the choice of taking photos at the perfect moment. Videos can be converted into a photo by pausing at the best recorded moment and taking a screenshot at the desired angle.
How is the process in digital smile design?
An initial intraoral scan of the patient is performed and initial photographs are taken.
The characteristic points for the personalised design are marked, the design is made and the design is produced with a resin model. The patient’s wishes are also assessedhere.
The design isthen applied to the patient’s mouth with a temporary material, After approval , the procedures are started according to the selected material.
Finalisation is done inabout 3-5 working days.
