“…The photos obtained from the study of Pithon et al (5) were manipulated with the Photoshop program to create eight different sized black spaces in the frontal smile of a patient with complete dentition and neutral occlusion (7,12,14,18,20,(22)(23)(24)26,27). A photo album containing the manipulated photographs and a questionnaire was distributed to the study participants.…”

This study aimed to compare the perception of smile esthetics and alterations among dentistry degree students and laypeople to identify differences in the esthetic perception of black spaces between the maxillary central incisors among Turkish laypeople and students in different study years. Photographs altered to include black spaces of various sizes at the midline were evaluated by 208 dentistry students in years 1-5 and 45 Turkish laypeople. Perceptional differences in different photographs were statistically significant. The students in years 2-5 were more aware of differences between photographs than year 1 students and laypeople. The proportion of participants who decided the most attractive photograph as A was highest among 3rd year students, followed by 5th year students. However, the proportion of students agreeing on the least attractive image was highest among 4th year students, followed by 3rd year students. Photographs A and H were selected as the most and least attractive, respectively, by all participants. The esthetic perception of 1st and 2nd year dentistry students was very different from that of laypeople. To increase esthetic perception among dentistry students, specific lessons with clinical photography should be included in dental education.

“…A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess esthetic perception by students and laypeople. The VAS is a simple and practical method to evaluate esthetic preferences on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 = least attractive; 5 = attractive; and 10 = most attractive (12,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Evidences point to the fact that the orthodontic appliance does not hide extraction space and this space totally compromises facial esthetics during the smile. 5 If we take into consideration that this treatment is motivated mostly by the esthetics, we are facing a conflicting situation for patients, and this drives many of them away from the benefits of orthodontic treatment. I'm sure all orthodontists already heard a phrase like this: "... and I searched an orthodontist at that time and he told me I needed to extract teeth, then I gave up.…”

“…The photos with visible extraction spaces had significantly lower attractiveness ratings, but the presence of a metal appliance did not affect the smile assessment. However, laypeople identified the esthetic brackets as less attractive than the metal appliance; this same bias did not exist within the orthodontist raters [25]. Jeremiah et al [26] continued to investigate the influence of orthodontic appliance on the evaluation of a person's physical attractiveness, but they also assessed how the appliance would influence social attractiveness ratings.…”

“…Ceramic brackets with discolored ties were rated lower in overall acceptability when compared to other esthetic appliances [24]. In 2009, Berto et al [25] examined the smile esthetics of several different versions of the same full-face photograph. Each photograph was manipulated to display a metal appliance, a clear appliance, rubber bands of varying colors, or missing maxillary premolars, simulating a common adult extraction pattern.…”

Facial attractiveness plays a key role in orthodontic treatment. The esthetics of a patient may be hindered by wearing of orthodontic appliances. Recently, the orthodontic market has experienced phenomenal growth in the development and production of orthodontic appliances that are designed to appeal to the patient consumer. Traditionally, the options for bracket style or appliance design were considerably limited for both the patient and provider. However, a shifting paradigm toward dental esthetics, increased demand for orthodontic treatment, consumer driven desire of esthetic treatment alternatives, and a competitive orthodontic industry and profession have all contributed to the development and production of alternative orthodontic appliances and new bracket styles. Orthodontic patients and practitioners are now presented with a variety of treatment options previously unavailable. Just as each orthodontic appliance is unique in its esthetic qualities, each also has biomechanical benefits and potential limitations. For a practitioner providing bracket options for patients, selecting which bracket to offer becomes a function of both esthetics and functionality, the one will be esthetically acceptable to the patient and clinically efficient for the doctor. Though many studies have sought to compare and quantify the clinical efficiency of bracket systems, few studies have investigated the patient perception of appliance esthetics. This review discusses various aspects of orthodontic appliances relating to the esthetics of an individual.
