Why it may be recommended

Minor reshaping between specific teeth can sometimes help align crowded teeth or improve their contact points without extraction.

How decisions are made

Your dentist assesses enamel thickness, oral health and your treatment plan before explaining whether the procedure is suitable, how much is proposed and the alternatives.

Practical steps to remember

  • Ask which teeth require treatment and why
  • Discuss alternatives if you are concerned
  • Continue recommended fluoride and home care
