МАКРО И МИНИ ЕСТЕТИКА ВО ОРТОДОНЦИЈА
MACRO AND MINI ESTHETICS IN ORTHODONTICS

Summary/Abstract: Esthetics is a subjective discipline. The face is what represents the person, what defines it and makes it unique. An understanding of facial proportions, esthetics, and attractiveness is an essential component of orthodontic diagnosis. Technology has become more prevalent, with more sophisticated methods developed to analyse and quantify what precisely makes the human face attractive. It is important to emphasize the impact of the teeth on the aesthetics of the smile, but also on the aesthetics of the whole face. Today, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment are increasingly evaluating the outcome of their treatment not only through occlusal harmony, but also through their smiles and improving the overall aesthetic appearance of the face. The aim of this research is to expand the understanding of how different dental and soft tissue relationships are related to the aesthetics of a smile. The associations between the characteristics of a smile are considered important for aesthetics and therefore some of them are explained. The search for the selection of papers was done using auxiliary tools in the PubMed database, through a previously defined strategy. This article presents macro and mini aesthetic considerations for orthodontic treatment to determine the new concepts that underlie clinical application to achieve an aesthetic result. The orthodontic literature contains many studies based on soft tissue and smile analysis. The development of today's technology has gradually placed more emphasis on the aesthetic of the smile as a key desired outcome of orthodontic treatment. The components of a smile receive considerable attention and are discussed in the literature. Extensive studies of facial features and smile parameters result in the establishment of norms that orthodontists will use as guidelines in modern orthodontic therapy.
