What is Post-Orthodontic Gingivectomy?
After completing orthodontic treatment, achieving the perfect smile sometimes requires refining not just the teeth but also the surrounding gum tissue. Post-orthodontic gingivectomy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line. By carefully sculpting the gums, we create a better framework for your teeth, improving both appearance and overall gum health. This procedure not only enhances the beauty of your smile but also facilitates easier cleaning and long-term periodontal health. Whether it's to correct a "gummy smile" or simply to achieve a more balanced look, our expert team is here to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
