Do gums grow back? (photo)

It looks as if your orthodontist took away the tissue covering the canines (fang teeth) with a laser so that they would come in much more quickly, thus reducing your overall treatment time. When doctors use a laser (as compared to a scalpel blade), there will be some "charring" of the gums because the laser is cauterizing the blood vessels in the tissue, which prevents all of the post operative bleeding that you would see with a scalpel. The charring will go away in a few days and the tissue will look much more normal. Call your orthodontist if you are having any sensitivity or bleeding for more than a week. The procedure looks well done. Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your treatment!
