Are Golden Proportions necessary?
Golden Proportions are one way to reference a smile design.
Many aspects of nature, art, and architecture can be described with attention to Golden Proportions. While it is helpful to
analyze the elements of a structure and compare them with each other, Golden proportions are not required to create a well-balanced composition.
Like any grid on the background of an architectural sketchboard, lines, numbers, and matrices help to relate designs in progress.
We already described dental and facial proportions elsewhere.
They are a useful tool for the cosmetic dentist to get a better grasp on existing proportions to make cosmetic dentistry more predictable.
The consideration of Golden Proportions on teeth and the face sharpens the perception of current and desired dental conditions:
