Leonardo da Vinci discovered that in art, architecture and nature there is a mathematical formula for beauty. What does Mona Lisa have with the Lincoln Memorial or the sheet?
Da Vinci studied many species in nature, marveling at their amazement. These species included human models, which were the subject of his art. The most favorable samples displayed a mathematical proportion of height across the width, the upper surface to the lower face, the appendage to the body. This proportion ranged from 1 to 1.618. This simple mathematical formula is known as the Divine Proportion.
Have you ever looked at a building and felt that something was simply wrong? Have you ever looked at someone and felt that something was just wrong? If you look at some of the most favorable buildings, such as The Lincoln Memorial, you can measure the height and width and find that their ratio is from 1 to 1.618.
The same thing happens with teeth. In the most pleasant smilies you will find that the ratio of the width to the height of the front tooth is from 1 to 1.618. The width of the lower front tooth is proportional to the width of the upper front tooth is from 1 to 1.618. The length of the ideal upper front tooth, multiplied by 1.618, gives us the ideal distance from the upper gumlin to the lower gamma in front, which corresponds to the ideal lower face.
If all these numbers confuse you, just remember that Leonardo da Vinci found measurements that make things beautiful. And this is good news for those who want a beautiful smile.
