This is an interesting concept. I usually notice if they're straight or not. My social six is a big lie. Car accident left me with a false first four. this causes me to wonder sometimes if perfect teeth are real or not.

thanks for your comment! A perfect smile can be achieved even without perfect teeth. Orthodontics (braces is one way), but if that is not an option, aesthetic dentistry has come a long way. Teeth can be replaced or restored with crowns, bridges and implants to look very natural especially with new porcelain materials that eliminate may eliminate the need for a metal base so that there is more translucency to the teeth. The final result depends on the skill of the dentist and the lab he uses to make dental restortations. I have seen really great restorative work and some ....not so great. Asking a dental lab who does beautiful aesthetic work is a good way to get some recommendations on a dentist who does nice "makeovers". The proportions, position and color of the teeth that make up Social Six is key to getting a fantastic smile!
