Abstract
The parameters for achievement of treatment success sometimes differ between patients and orthodontists, while patients focus on esthetics, orthodontists usually emphasize occlusal criteria. Although smile esthetics is an extensive topic, clinicians must understand the main principles of an ideal smile in order to use the appropriate orthodontic mechanics to enhance facial and smile esthetics. The objectives of this paper are: 1) to review the two main principles of a beautiful and youthful smile to guide the clinician to visualize the main esthetic goals of orthodontic treatment, and 2) to present two clinical situations where appropriate orthodontic mechanics were used to obtain optimal facial and smile esthetics results.
