Orthodontic Crown Lengthening
Some teeth undergoing orthodontic therapy appear to be short because the natural crown of the tooth has not fully erupted through the gum tissue. The gum height on a tooth can be adjusted to expose the natural crown of the tooth through a crown lengthening procedure. The increased crown length facilitates ideal orthodontic bracket placement, makes the teeth easier to clean, increases the stability of the orthodontic treatment and improves the appearance of the smile.
