I've had my braces for about 7 months now. I need a total of 2 years. Some of my teeth are un-even and chipped. I supposed I have a minor gummy smile. I've always wanted a big beautiful broad smile since forever. I was wondering if I can get the gum lift on the same day as my braces are removed to just get everything over with.

Answer: Same Day Gum Lift No gum lift the same day. While you are in braces, brush and floss your teeth twice a day for at least 5 minutes to prevent inflammation of the gums. Once the braces are removed, seek out a cosmetic dentist to evaluate your smile and hear what your desires are. You did not mention your age, I'm assuming you are an adult between 18 and 20 when you seek out a cosmetic dentist. Anyway, the cosmetic dentist can evaluate the position of the gum line, the length and size of your teeth in proportion to your face and determine if a gum lift is necessary at that time. You may also need to consider porcelain veneers in order to reach your expectations for your smile. Either way, you must have immaculate home care for any cosmetic dentist to work on you because the results will be flawed if you have inflamed or bleeding gums during treatment.Hank D.
