When did cosmetic dentistry appear?

Cosmetic dentistry did not appear once, but appeared one after the other, and the process of orthodontics is considered the first cosmetic procedure that was discovered more than 1000 years BC, as some documents were found indicating the existence of attempts to straighten teeth in the Greek, Pharaonic and Etruscan eras. .

The dentist, Olius Cornelius Celsus, was the first doctor to attempt to straighten teeth by pressing them with his fingers, and then French dentist Pierre Fauchaud discovered a device to straighten teeth and expand the jaw.

After the First World War, cosmetic surgeries spread greatly, as doctors were forced to do them in order to fix what the war had done in the soldiers, and from here many cosmetic dental surgeries appeared, as British dentist Harold Gillies was able to implant replacement teeth for soldiers who lost their teeth He also cured many defects and set the first rules for cosmetic dental surgery, having performed about 11,000 surgeries on more than 5,000 soldiers.
