On the other side in its simplistic form, people have four basic personality traits, such as strong, dynamic, calm and delicate (or combinations of the two).

If these can be analysed and the basic elements of the Visual Language are applied to the incisal silhouette, tooth shape, tooth axis and dominance of centrals of the new smile design, that will create the new formation of a personalised smile design.

This concept will allow the dentist create the most natural looking direct mock up, or the lab produce the same kind of a personalised wax up.

Nowadays with in the digital advances in dentistry, and with the Artificial Intelligence based softwares, such personalised smile designs can easily be achieved digitally, regardless of the skill levels of any dentist.
