| After their teeth are straightened out through orthodontic procedures, many clients are pleased with their new smiles. But some notice other, smaller cosmetic problems with their teeth that detract from these improvements. These could include wear, uneven gums, or discoloration that stand in the way of a perfect smile.
At Lach Orthodontic Specialists, we don’t limit ourselves to just treating structural jaw and teeth problems. In tackling the aesthetic, outer appearance of teeth, we are able to correct every different type of orthodontic imperfection. If you would like more information about our practice or are interested in scheduling a consultation appointment, contact our Lake Nona or Oviedo offices today. |
Enameloplasty |
 After teeth have orthodontically corrected, small differences in the length and straightness of the edge of each tooth can stand out. This problem is particularly prevalent in adults whose teeth have been worn down and misshapen over the years. In these cases, the edges of imperfect teeth can be straightened out and slightly adjusted through a process called enameloplasty. This procedure is quick, involves relatively no discomfort, and can make a big difference in the appearance of your smile. |
Laser Gingival Recontour |
 Another problem that many patients experience after undergoing orthodontic treatment is uneven or low gums that fall below the lip line. This can detract from an otherwise beautiful new smile and make your teeth look smaller than they actually are. Uneven or low gums can also lead to future medical problems — it’s harder to keep gums that extend far down clean. Laser gingival recontouring can be undergone to cut away this excess tissue, leaving you with a healthy, more beautiful smile.
The entire procedure can be completed in just one brief visit and involves relatively minimal discomfort. Before the process begins, that patient’s mouth is numbed with a local anesthetic. Dr. Lach then uses a special laser to gently cut away gum tissue and shape a more uniform gum line. While the gums can be swollen or sore for up to a week after the procedure is completed, these side effects usually don’t interfere with daily activities |
Whitening |
| Once your teeth have been straightened and corrected, the last thing you want is for yellowed teeth to take away from their new appearance. Through a simple teeth whitening procedure, you can have shiny teeth that compliment your new smile. |
