Would Gum Contouring be Recommended in This Case? (photos)

Laser recontouring is quick, safe and easy.Do you need it?  That is a personal question only you can answer but if you want it you would be an easy case.  If in doubt err on the side of less removal off tissue because it is easy to take more away but hard to put it back.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD OrganizationsDiplomat, American Academy of Pain ManagementDiplomat, American Board of Dental Sleep MedicineRegent & Fellow, International College of CranioMandibular OrthopedicsBoard Eligible, American Academy of CranioFacial PainDental Section Editor, Sleep & Health JournalMember, American Equilibration SocietyMember, Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences

Hi! Congratulations on getting your braces off! Based on the posted photos I see that your top front teeth do have a more square shape. You may be a candidate for esthetic crown lengthening by a periodontist (gum specialist). Discuss your esthetic goals with your periodontists especially turning the square appearance of the teeth into a more elongated rectangle which can help make your smile "pop"! Cheers!
