Methods: Digital smile photographs with altered features were used including: crown length, width, lateral incisors gingival level, gingival display, midline diastema, upper midline shift. The photographs were presented and assessed by a group of 50 dentists and 50 orthodontists using the Visual Analogue Scale. Results: Moroccan orthodontists and non-orthodontists didn__ampersandsign#39;t share the same perception of smile esthetics. Orthodontists were more critical when assessing maxillary lateral incisors crown width alterations, Incisal midline deviation, midline diastema and gingival exposition with a threshold of 2 mm, whereas they perceived similarly gingival margin incisors irregularities. Conclusion: Moroccan orthodontists were more critical then dentists when assessing alterations in smile features.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Perception ,Smile features,Moroccan orthodontists, Moroccan dentists</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://journal-jmsr.net/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=5993&title=Altered Smile Esthetics as Perceived by Moroccan Dentists and Orthodontists</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>1- McLeod C, Fields HW, Hechter F, et al.
