Abstract:

During the last decade, the demand for cosmetic services has increased considerably in many parts of the world. Several medical specialties providing cosmetic services have witnessed increases in procedures that enhance physical traits, reverse the effects of aging, and improve esthetics. Cosmetic surgical procedures, the use of botulinum toxin type A and dermal fillers, dental bleaching, and other dental cosmetic procedures are widely requested by adults. An undeniable psycho- logical benefit of cosmetic procedures is the increase in self-esteem. In turn, improvement in self-esteem changes the scope of several of these cosmetic procedures to another level: therapeutic. In orthodontics, facial esthetics are enhanced in several conventional ways; the 2 primary ones are alignment of the dentition and balancing of the patient�??s profile. Additionally, measures to improve the smile are often-sought procedures. In particular, those with a �??gummy smile,�?� so called due to excessive display of gingival tissue in the maxilla on smiling, can be self-conscious, embarrassed, or even psychologically affected, and thus seek intervention.
