“…Smile aesthetics and/or smile design are popular dental procedures today. In determining the smiling behavior, perfect upper incisors, young and pleasantly curved lips and lip commissures, as well as the contractility of the perioral muscles and their morphological characteristics are very important (25). Therefore, although evidence is needed, facial exercises can complement smile design procedures.…”

Introduction There is evidence that exercises that work the facial and neck muscles that create facial expressions and facilitate lymph circulation with their movements are effective in facial rejuvenation and keeping facial youthfulness. This study aims to determine the awareness of facial aging and the methods affecting this process, especially facial exercises/facial yoga. Materials and Methods A 15-question survey was created to question awareness and preferences for facial aging, protecting facial youth and facial rejuvenation methods. The survey was shared online on social media apps. Statistical analyzes were performed. Results The majority of volunteers were female (85.1%), between 25-34 years of age (32%), university graduates (44%), with income equal to expenditure (77%), and healthcare workers (26%). Individuals were most disturbed by the changes around the eyes (34%). Most of the participants had heard of facial rejuvenation (82%) and facial exercises (86%) before, but very few (23%) had applied them. Conclusions It was determined that individuals were aware that facial exercises were effective in facial rejuvenation, but they did not apply them. Making a habit of facial exercises at a young age and adding them to other non-invasive methods can delay the aging of the face and the transition to some costly invasive procedure.

“…It was marked using a spirit level device (fluid level device) on the head using a double-sided adhesive and a Velcro band. The repeatable and reliable head position (19,34 NHP) is used in the study [20]. Once the desired position was achieved and confirmed, the subject was made to place his/her chin on the custom-made stand, maintaining the same head position, and the photograph was taken, using the grid system of the camera.…”

BackgroundWith the increasing influence of social media, millennials and the generations that follow have increasingly pressing aesthetic concerns. Following this, there has been a sea change in treatment plans and procedures as well as the choice of material. Dentistry nowadays is dependent on digital data to compute and design prostheses; these technologies are often not readily available all over the world. The purpose of this research article is to measure the tooth arc (TA) and lip arc (LA) and their correlation to the smile arcs with a cohort consisting of males and females from a single center in northern India. The SA measurement, evaluation, and comparison of smile aesthetics in this young population may be used as a threshold to these smile variables so that prosthodontists can easily prevent or modify aesthetically displeasing features. This research article will be useful for cases requiring restorations and replacements of maxillary anterior teeth. Materials and methodsIn this research work, photographic analysis was used and photographs of hundred subjects were taken. The camera was fixed using a tripod, at an 11-inch distance from the face, so that a clear picture of the face could be taken from the tip of the nose to the chin. A digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera (Nikon D-60, with the Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm lens, Tokyo, Japan) was used to take the facial photographs. As the posed smile is more predictable than the natural smile, subjects were asked to smile while keeping their natural head position (NHP). Parabolas were made with Math-GV software

“…During the aging process, the lips assume a lower position, contributing to a reduction in the exposure of the maxillary anterior teeth and an increase in the exposure of the mandibular anterior teeth. It is known that women have a more marked upper incisal line than men, and both the curvatures formed by the upper incisal line and the lower lip when smiling tend to be flatter with increasing age (Seixas;Camara, 2010;Matos et al, 2020).…”
