Tooth Contouring and Sanding
Even after getting braces, some people will consider cosmetic dentistry to get that perfect smile. For those who have teeth that are too long or have odd shapes (like round bottoms), tooth contouring can be an option. This method is also used to correct bite issues and teeth grinding.Tooth sanding is usually done on people who have canine teeth that are too long or pointy, but there are also other reasons to get tooth sanding done. If you’re considering getting your teeth sanded, your dentist will first take x-rays of your teeth to figure out where the pulp of your tooth is. This will show the dentist how far he or she can go down and if tooth sanding will work for your teeth or not. Then your tooth will be marked at where you and the dentist agree it should be sanded down to.
