Labial frenectomy and smile makeover for improved aesthetics

14/8/2014

Comments

 
A 20-year-old girl reported to our dental clinic seeking to treat the unsightly gap between her upper front teeth which made her very conscious and she was not able to smile confidently. She was to get married in a few days and she wanted a quick smile correction.

It was seen that the gap between her upper central incisors was due to an abnormal frenal attachment. The labial frenum is a fold of tissue that connects the inner side of the lip to the gums. When it is attached too closely to the gums margin, it causes diastema (spacing between teeth) leading to aesthetic problems. Our cosmetic dentistry specialist successfully performed a labial frenectomy of the abnormally positioned tissue and the gap was closed with LCR (light cure restoration) with exact color match. The girl was very happy with the instant results and to have an attractive, beautiful smile.
