Do your gums appear excessively high or too low in relation to your teeth?

This imbalance can have an impact on your smile and routine tasks such as brushing and flossing. It is imperative to identify the underlying cause of an uneven gum line in order to receive treatment that is both effective and timely.

With gum line alignment in Wibsey, you can change the shape of your gums and get a perfect smile without any pain.

What is gum line alignment?

Gum line correction, also known as gum correction, or contouring of gums, is a procedure made to improve the symmetry of your gums.

If you have a gummy smile (where your gums show too much when you smile), have excess gum tissues, or have gum recession—when the gums pull back. These gum line alignment treatments can help restore balance and confidence.

When excess gum tissues partly cover your teeth, the procedure reshapes the gums, revealing the entire length of the teeth.

If your gums are receded, techniques like grafting can be used to fill the lost gum tissue.

Why choose gum line alignment?

Here are the advantages of choosing gum line alignment.

Is the gum line alignment procedure painful?

Not at all. We use local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure. While some patients might feel minor discomfort during recovery, this can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and aftercare tips from your dentist.

How long does it take to recover?

Recovery times depend on the type of procedure and the extent of the treatment. Most patients heal within a few days to two weeks. Following a soft-food diet and maintaining good oral hygiene during this period can speed up the healing process.

Are there any specific aftercare tips I should follow?

Absolutely! Stick to soft foods like soup and yoghurt for the first few days. Avoid brushing or flossing directly on the treated area initially, and follow all the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist for the best results.

Causes of uneven gums

Several factors can contribute to an uneven gum line, including:

  • Genetic Factors: Sometimes, your gum line is inherited—just like other physical traits. Your parents or relatives could be having similar gum contours.
  • Misaligned Teeth: Crooked teeth can cause gum irregularities.
  • Vigorous Brushing: Overbrushing of the teeth can be one of the leading causes of gum recession, creating an uneven appearance.
  • Braces: Orthodontic treatments like braces can sometimes lead to gum overgrowth.

  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation and eventual recession.
  • Muscle Attachments in the Mouth: High frenums (the tissue in your mouth that attaches the gums to the lips) can pull on the gums, causing unevenness.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during puberty or pregnancy, can have a temporary effect on gum appearance.

Sometimes, additional treatments like teeth straightening or dental fillings can also fix gum correction to achieve the best results.

This method is ideal for treating excessive gum growth or mild cases of gummy smiles.

Excess gum tissue can make your teeth appear shorter than they are, and this procedure restores a more balanced appearance.

How gum contouring works:

  • The area to be treated is numbed with local anaesthesia for a pain-free and comfortable experience.
  • We then remove the excess gum tissues either surgically or using a soft tissue laser.
  • The gums are then reshaped to create a natural, even gum line.
  • Stitches may be used to keep the gums in their new shape.

Most people recover in a few days to a week. Eating soft foods like soups, applesauce, or yoghurt can help you recover faster.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is a modern, non-invasive method for reshaping the gum line.

Laser therapy is a modern, non-invasive method for reshaping the gum line.

How laser therapy works:

  • We first begin with teeth cleanings to remove the plaque and tartar to create a healthy foundation for the gums.
  • Dental lasers are then pointed to remove the excess or uneven gum tissue.
  • Rough spots on the gums or teeth are smoothed out to prevent bacteria buildup.

Why choose laser therapy?

  • Quick recovery: Most patients can return to their regular activities within a day or two.
  • Painless: Laser gum alignment surgery with dental lasers is virtually painless, with minimal bleeding and swelling that resolves within a day or two.
