NATURAL SMILE & RETRACTED ANTERIOR
:
a) NATURAL SMILE: Square camera to face, move the camera
closer until you don’t see the nose but you do see the corners of the
mouth (end of lens is about 5 inches from subject).
b) Line of occlusion is horizontal.
c) RETRACTED ANTERIOR: Insert retractors, puff out cheeks.

show occlusion; teeth slightly apart shows incisal edges and
translucency better.
