How baby teeth gaps affect smile appearance
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how gaps between baby teeth (and the width of the front teeth) affect how attractive a child's smile appears. It uses photos of children's smiles and asks dental students and parents to rate them. If your child is in the baby teeth stage, they might be able to participate in the photo part. If you are a dental student or a parent at the clinic, you could be asked to view and rate the smile photos.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For children in the photo part: healthy children with only baby teeth (no permanent teeth yet).
- Your child must be able to sit still and cooperate while we take smile photos.
- You (parent or legal guardian) must sign a consent form allowing us to take and use smile photos of your child.
- The study needs one child with natural gaps between baby teeth and one child without gaps.
- This study is also looking for dental students (3rd–5th year) or parents at the dental clinic to rate smile photos.
