When you want to change your  smile in high esthetic  demands is we  categorize  it  as what the patient does  not like in their  smile, whether it is their gummy  smile or if  their  gums are  pigmented. So we have certain principles for our smile design procedures . You can do  lasers to reshape your gums,  we can  do depigmentation   if it is dark colored gum.  We take out the melanin pigmentation on the gums and try to give them fairly pink gums that is related to the gingiva. If  they are not happy with their smile, if it is the colour, we  try to  bleach the  tooth and make it look more  better or if  they are not happy  with the  diastema or the spaces  between teeth or  some  amount  of minor  positioning of the  teeth, we  can  try  to correct them with  veneer  wherein  we  give them  all  6 teeth in the front  can be  changed  in a one step  procedure. It is a one step clinical procedure, where we   do  composite  veneers, which is  indirectly made,  we  use certain measurements of the  patient  and can  do it  or  if  the  patient requires  tooth repositioning, we do invisible  retainers for the patient,  so that particular  malocclusion can be  corrected  within a  very less  period of  time. So these are  situation  that can be corrected, depending on the demand of  the  situation.
