Aesthetic Procedures
Refining the details that bring your smile into balance.
Laser Gingivectomy
(Gum Contouring)
At Cui and Lin Orthodontics, smile aesthetics are shaped by more than tooth position alone. The relationship between the teeth and gums plays a major role in how balanced and natural a smile appears. In cases of excess gum display or uneven gingival levels, laser gingivectomy can be used to gently reshape the gumline and create a more even frame for the teeth.
This procedure can also be helpful in select orthodontic situations where teeth are partially covered by gum tissue, allowing them to be guided into their ideal position more efficiently. Using advanced dental laser technology, treatment is precise and typically well tolerated, with minimal downtime and predictable results.

Tooth Recontouring (Enameloplasty)
After orthodontic treatment, small variations in tooth shape or uneven edges can influence how a smile comes together visually. Enameloplasty, or tooth recontouring, is a conservative procedure that gently reshapes the outer enamel to smooth edges, improve symmetry, and enhance overall balance.
In carefully selected cases, this approach can refine a finished orthodontic result without the need for restorative materials. Dr. Cui and Dr. Lin may collaborate with your general dentist when appropriate to ensure changes are conservative, stable, and aligned with your long-term oral health.

Professional Whitening Options
A complete smile includes both alignment and brightness. For patients undergoing Invisalign treatment, whitening options can sometimes be incorporated during Invisalign treatment, allowing subtle enhancement to occur alongside tooth movement so results feel finished and cohesive at the end of care.
For patients in braces, whitening is typically performed after active orthodontic treatment to ensure even results. Our team coordinates closely with your general dentist when needed to support a safe and effective whitening plan that complements your orthodontic care and protects long-term enamel health.
