Brief Summary

**ABSTRACT**

**INTRODUCTION:** In orthodontics, the study and enhancement of the smile play a central role in achieving both aesthetic and functional goals. A beautiful and harmonious smile not only contributes to an individual’s self-confidence but also reflects the proper alignment and health of the teeth and jaws. A balanced smile is a key aspect of facial aesthetics and oral health, encompassing various components that contribute to a harmonious and pleasing appearance. The assessment of these components plays a crucial role in orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry, guiding treatment plans to achieve optimal results. The eight primary components of a balanced smile serve as essential criteria in evaluating both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the teeth and surrounding structures.

**METHODOLOGY:** Patients will be segregated into into 3 groups 15 in each: Skeletal Class I, Class II Vertical and Class II Horizontal malocclusion. On each subject’s sheet, the molar relation and any current malocclusions will be documented. Following these preparations, each subject will be told to unwind in order to get the frontal rest position picture, then grin (like you’re saying hello) in order to get the social smile picture. Then, using the software’s Unit tool, measurements will be calibrated and 8 components of balanced smile will be determined.

 **EXPECTED RESULT:** The 8 components of balanced smile in Class I malocclusion will fall within normal range when compared to Class II vertical and horizontal cases. The goal is typically to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile while also addressing functional issues.

 **CONCLUSION:** In conclusion, the eight components of a balanced smile play a crucial role in assessing and addressing malocclusions, such as Class 2 and Class 1. Achieving an optimal smile involves considerations such as overjet and overbite, midline alignment, gum display, facial symmetry, lip support, and functional bite.
