Smile Analysis

Upload a photo of your smile and see how even it is: a smile symmetry score, how far each mouth corner lifts above the lip line, which side rises higher, and how wide the smile is against your face. Lines are drawn on your photo.

How it is measured

Corner heights, corner lift, width.

The tool finds the mouth corners and the centre of the lips among 478 landmarks and removes head tilt. Smile symmetry compares the height of the two corners as a share of face width; corner lift is how far the corners rise above the line between the lips, as a share of mouth width; width is mouth width against cheekbone width. If the corners barely lift, the photo is read as a neutral mouth and you are asked to smile and retake.

Symmetry 90+
Even: corners within a small fraction of face width of each other.
75–89
Slightly uneven: common, and usually unnoticed in person.
Under 75
One corner clearly higher.

FAQ

Why is my smile crooked?+

Most smiles are slightly uneven: one side's muscles are often a little stronger, and habits like chewing on one side or sleeping on one side are commonly blamed. A difference that appears suddenly, with drooping, is a reason to see a doctor.

Can I make my smile more even?+

Practising in a mirror and relaxing the stronger side can make a posed smile more even. Muscle asymmetry from nerve problems or dental causes needs a professional.

Does it check my teeth?+

Not in this version. It reads the mouth outline only, and notes whether the mouth is open.

Which photo works best?+

A straight-on photo at eye level with your natural smile. A turned head makes one corner look higher.

Is my photo uploaded?+
