Gum Contouring
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They apply constant pressure over time to gradually move teeth into the desired position, improving both the appearance and function of your smile.

Reshape your gumline for a more balanced, even smile.
Gum contouring, also called gum reshaping, removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to create a more even gumline. It can make teeth look longer and more balanced, and improve the look of a "gummy" smile.
It is done under local anaesthesia using a scalpel or laser, and may also be recommended when excess gum tissue makes cleaning difficult.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist first checks your gum health, discusses the result you want, and explains recovery.

|---|---|
| Duration | 30–60 minutes |
| Preparation | A check-up and cleaning first; tell the dentist about medical conditions, allergies and blood-thinning medicines |

| Who It's For | People with a gummy smile, uneven gumline, short-looking teeth or overgrown gum tissue, and healthy underlying bone and gums |
Gum contouring is recommended for cosmetic balance, or when excess gum tissue makes teeth hard to clean.
