Tooth recontouring is another technique that can add to the aesthetics of your smile. Tooth recontouring is where the “less is more” idea is important. Small overlaps, misalignments, and other small flaws can be adjusted by removing tiny, very thin slices of tooth enamel, one by one. It requires painstaking attention to detail and a commitment to your smile, one small adjustment at a time.
Tooth recontouring can be part of an overall strategy for correcting and beautifying your smile. You may not want to show up at work one day with a dramatically different smile. (Although if you do, that’s great too!) Remaking your smile can also be accomplished by making small changes over time. All anyone will see is that you look a little different, maybe happier because you’re smiling!
