Front Smile

Use two spoons or your fingers to gently pull your cheeks back.

  • Show your full smile
  • Keep teeth together
  • Make sure the image is clear and well-lit

Right Side

Turn slightly to your right.

  • Keep teeth together
  • Pull cheek back to show side teeth
  • Make sure back teeth are visible

Left Side

Turn slightly to your left.

  • Same positioning as the right side
  • Keep image clear and in focus

Upper Teeth

Tilt your head back and open wide.

  • Capture the top arch
  • Make sure all upper teeth are visible

Lower Teeth

Tilt your head down and open wide.

  • Capture the bottom arch
  • Keep camera focused on lower teeth

Great service and friendly staff as usual. The staff are amazing and are very patient with me. They all have beautiful smiles and I wonder how and why they have them.
