Learn to see and sketch a smile — a 10-step smile frame plus guided drawing drills
Two compact modules make up DSD Design MasterClass (OroFacial Analysis & Smile Design): a structured facial and dental analysis in ten steps, then drawing exercises that repeat each step by hand. With 25 lessons in about 2 hours, it trains the eye for midline, smile curve, tooth proportions, gingival and papilla lines, occlusal plane and profile before digital design.

Module 1 (48 min) introduces the framework and then covers each step in its own short video, from head position to profile integration.
Drawing practice
Module 2 (1 h 05 min) starts with freehand drawing of an arch and perception of width, then repeats every frame step as an exercise, adds two sessions on the profile and ends with 3D and full-arch drawing.
