Top tips, why do teeth look weird?

In this video Dr Lincoln Harris examines why existing or new restorations, both direct and indirect, can look “weird” or “wrong”.
He visually steps you through several different cases explaining emergence profiles, point of curvature, gingival height and long axis of teeth.
Lincoln guides you through recognising why the tooth looks short by designing a “smile design”, noting the gingival heights. He unmasks how the embrasures have an affect on how the teeth look and how the smile curve determines the incisal edge positions.
Lincoln makes sense of line angles and how, if done incorrectly, can leave your teeth still looking “fake”.

This demonstration of design is about understanding the smile as a whole and not just shaping a single tooth.
