Gum Contouring

Many people have what we call “gummy smiles,” meaning when you smile you see more of your gum than you do your teeth. This can cause your teeth to look shorter or smaller when in actuality it is the gums that are larger than normal and not your teeth that are small. The problem can have different causes, including heredity, but the great news is it can be remedied.
