Smile Line Placement Planner
Choose a tooth, the upper or lower arch, and where on the tooth the gem would sit. The planner scores how visible it will be, from a discreet flash to a bold centrepiece.
Placement preview
This spot is front-and-centre in a smile — the gem will be one of the first things people notice.
Reading the smile line
The “smile line” is the set of teeth that show when you smile naturally — usually the upper front six or eight. A gem placed there is seen constantly; a gem on a lower or back tooth is glimpsed only occasionally. The planner starts from how prominent each tooth is in a typical smile, then adjusts for the upper-versus-lower arch and for how high or low on the tooth the gem sits.
Use it to compare choices: the same gem can be a subtle accent or the first thing people notice depending purely on where it goes. Think about how you want it to read before you settle on a spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which tooth is best for a tooth gem?
The most popular spot is the upper lateral incisor or canine — the teeth just to the side of your two front teeth — because they sit squarely in the smile line and catch the light when you talk and smile. The two central front teeth are also very visible. Lower teeth and teeth further back show far less, which some people prefer for a subtle look.
Does where on the tooth I place the gem matter?
Yes. A gem placed toward the biting edge shows more when you speak, one in the middle of the tooth is a balanced classic, and one closer to the gum is the most discreet. The planner adjusts the visibility score for the height you choose so you can compare options.
Is the visibility score a safety rating?
No. It only estimates how noticeable the gem will be, not whether a spot is safe or suitable for your teeth. Placement near the gum line or on the biting surface can raise practical concerns a professional should weigh up. Use the score for looks, and let a dentist advise on the actual position.
Educational tool only. The score reflects visibility, not safety or suitability. A dentist should advise on whether a given tooth and position are appropriate for you.
