Can Invisalign move teeth forward and down to take away the overwhelming appearance of small teeth? (photo)

Question

I would love the appearance of a perfect, straight smile but i would like to avoid braces if possible. I have had Invisalign for some time and the spacing is mostly fixed but due to my extremely small teeth there is unevenness. I would like my smile to represent a post-braces perfect straight smile. Is there anything I could do that could make my teeth more straight and all one length (appearance wise)?

It looks like some teeth are hiding under the gums. A procedure called "gum lifting" or "gum raising" could be done with the use of laser or scalpel to sculpt a longer tooth.in addition bonding with esthetic composite or even better with the use of porcelain veneers can give the teeth a straighter more harmonious look.

Great Questions--Your smile is compromised by both the unevenness at the incisal or biting edges as well as along the gumline. Search out a great cosmetic dentist and they will give you your options to correct this. This will involve both reshaping the gums and adding to the deficient enamel with composite or porcelain.Good Luck!.
