Two frontal photographs for anterior teeth were taken for each participant in a standardized manner, the first one is a spontaneous smile view and the second one is a close up retracted view. apparent width, length and W/L ratio for maxillary anterior teeth were recorded from the retracted view and existence of sexual dimorphism for actual and apparent tooth dimension and W/L ratio were statistically analyzed. After the results of the visible width/length ratio were collected and statistical analysis was made, a gummy smile sample was chosen whom visible width/length ratio of maxillary anterior teeth is nearly the same as the results of our study. The gingival display of the original image was digitally manipulated to create a series of five images with different gingival displays, ranging from 4 mm of gingival display to 4mm of tooth covering by the upper lip, and then presented to layperson and dentist groups to be rated by numerical rating scale from 0 to 10 UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
