Enamel
Shaping (Contouring) is the process of shaping natural teeth
to improve their appearance. Shaping can be used to correct
minor cases of crowded or overlapping teeth, smooth rough edges,
or make small adjustments to the shape of a tooth.
Before: This patient has a small notch in three
of her four front teeth.
After: Minor contouring (shaping) of the enamel
makes her teeth smooth and natural looking!
