TOPIC SYNOPSIS

Title - More Than Skin Deep: The Skeletal Science of Smile Design
A beautiful smile is more than just white teeth; it is built on a foundation of balanced bone and facial structure. This presentation shifts the focus from the surface of the teeth to the "blueprint" of the face, exploring how Maxillofacial Surgery creates the perfect frame for a smile.
The transformation can be achieved by Realigning the Jaws: Using Orthognathic Surgery also Rebuilding the Foundation by Utilizing Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts to restore lost bone or
Advanced Solutions like Zygomatic Implants can be used in severely atrophic cases.
By doing these structural corrections, surgeons can provide a stable, long-lasting foundation. The result is a smile that is not just aesthetically pleasing, but perfectly proportioned to the patient's unique facial features.
