Cosmetic Contouring
Also known as enamel shaping, cosmetic contouring involves the reshaping and straightening of teeth. It can be used to fix crowded teeth, elongated eye-teeth and other flaws, to create a more balanced look and improve the overall appearance of the patient’s smile.
Aside from improvements to the appearance of the tooth, contouring can also be used to fix irregularly shaped teeth that are difficult to clean and be cared for. Tooth contouring procedures can also provide solutions to minor bite problems, caused by how one or more teeth are shaped, positioned or angled. Correcting slight overlap of teeth can lead to better biting capabilities, and even improve speech function.
