How old do you have to be to get gum surgery?

rockwill
My younger brother is 14 and he get his braces off in 4 weeks, But his teeth are extremely small. I know there is a gum surgery that removes some of the gum and shows more of your teeth; how old do you have to be to get this done? Also want some suggestion about any good Miami gum surgery expert.
