Zurich orthodontist says natural-looking smiles are replacing the Hollywood ideal
Zurich orthodontist Nazanin Böhle says patients increasingly want subtle changes to their smiles rather than the very white, perfectly even teeth once associated with the Hollywood ideal.
Böhle, who grew up in Dubai and has lived and worked in Zurich for four years, founded the House of Smiles practice.
She says natural-looking results are especially important to clients in finance and other customer-facing jobs.
Clear aligners have helped make orthodontic treatment more appealing to adults who may not want visible metal braces at work.
Before treatment begins, digital scans and artificial intelligence can help show patients a possible result and plan tooth movements.
Böhle says some cases that once took years may now be treated in months, while simple corrections can sometimes take about 10 weeks.
