Background: Designing the smile based only on mechanical parameters such as shape and size of the face will give a monotonous and stereotype appearance whereas customizing it with the person's attitudes and behavior will make it more life-like. Aim: To find out as to whether the concept of Visagism is present in dentate individuals. Setting and Design: The dominant temperaments of 50 subjects were determined with a self-reporting questionnaire which highlighted their reaction to different situations in life and hence their personality. Materials and Methods: The photographs of teeth of same subjects were taken, and their tooth forms, long axes, and embrasure lines were drawn using the software. Statistical Analysis Used: These parameters were then statistically analyzed and correlated with the individual personality. Results and Conclusion: A definite correlation was found between the temperament and the parameters of a smile. The parameter of tooth form was more closely related to the personality.
