The app will let you accomplish all of this without even the patient having yet decided to visit your dental practice. Once the potential patients are able to visualize what they wish to change about their smile, they will have a good reason to engage with your practice further.
The app will help to build a new avenue of meaningful interaction between you and potential patients, and also open the doors of opportunity for creating new and engaging social media campaigns and contests.

Tips on taking an awesome picture
Don’t use your screen as your light source; use a lamp. Using your monitor/LCD screen as your light source would degrade the image quality.
A solution for this is to use a desk lamp to make your image color more accurate. The light coming from the lamp will make the webcam lower the exposure; thus, making your color more balanced and would improve the image quality.
Using a proper background behind you can also make a big difference in the image quality.

Outline your smile
Now comes the fun part, draw an outline of your smile. To draw an outline, simply click around your smile. This outline helps the application detect your smile so it can be replaced with an appropriate smile. The application gives you two awesome features;
1) Reset the outline that you drew
2) Move the image around the canvas so your existing smile is front and center
It is very important that the outline you draw contains at least 5 points. - Step Five
