Submit your picture for a cosmetic dentistry smile makeover simulation!

Email a picture of your smile to us and we'll illustrate some of the types of cosmetic changes your dentist may be able to make. Here are our conditions for images considered for a cosmetic dentistry makeover simulation:

• All images submitted become the property of WMDS, Inc. (the owner of Animated-Teeth.com) who has the right to reproduce, modify, publish, resell, and otherwise use all submitted images. Copyrighted images may not be submitted.
  
  
• Animated-Teeth.com will select which images will be utilized for a cosmetic dentistry makeover simulation. Not all images received will be used. We receive far more images than we can edit, as a result we have become more and more selective about the ones we do choose. For all practical purposes the picture you submit needs to be of similar size (or larger) and of similar image quality as the "before" image shown above. If it doesn't meet this standard, it seems most unlikely we will choose your picture.
  
  Those pictures not selected for a smile makeover simulation typically have one or more of the following problems:
  
  
  1. The image is out of focus. Not all cameras are intended for close up work. Take several pictures at varying distances and then send us the one that shows your teeth well and is also in focus. Many of the pictures found on our site were originally full-face photos. We have no desire to embarrass anyone. All images that we use for a cosmetic dentistry makeover simulation will be cropped down to a size that just shows the person's teeth and smile.
     
     
  2. The image is out of focus. We've listed this reason twice because so many people just don't seem to pay attention to it.
     
     
  3. The image is too small. When you view the picture you plan to send to us in your web browser, the size of the teeth and smile need to be similar in size (or larger) as the teeth and smile seen in the makeover simulation picture at the top of this page. While we can usually shrink an image down to an appropriate size, we can never enlarge a small picture to a larger size. It simply becomes too grainy.
     
     
  4. The image is too small. We've listed this reason twice because, except for a picture being out of focus, this is the main reason we reject submissions. When you look at your picture in your web browser and look at the picture at the top of this page in your web browser, if the front center teeth in your picture aren't as large as or larger than the same teeth in our picture, we won't offer to create a makeover simulation for you.
     
     
  5. We typically will not edit the pictures of individuals who would require extensive orthodontic treatment as a part of their cosmetic dentistry treatment plan (meaning teeth would need to be repositioned using braces). Our primary interest is to illustrate the types of cosmetic changes that the typical general dentist would be able to provide by way of the placement of dental crowns, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, etc....
     
     
  6. We find that images that emphasize red and yellow tones are easier for us to edit than those that are rich in blues and grays, and thus are more likely to be chosen.
     
     
  7. The image did not arrive with the email the person has sent. We suggest that you practice sending email with an attached picture to your own email address, then send a copy to us when you have all of the kinks figured out.
     
     
  8. All images considered for a cosmetic dentistry makeover simulation must be in either ".jpg", ".jpeg", or ".gif" format.
