Finished straightening your teeth and now notice the biting edges don’t quite line up? West Kildonan residents can have that assessed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Crowded teeth can hide their own outlines. Once they sit in a tidier row, a small dip in one biting edge or a slightly longer corner may become easier to see. It can feel odd to be bothered by something so minor after all that effort, but the question is a fair one.
If you live in West Kildonan, an area in Winnipeg, the assessment for this happens at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. The dentist looks at enamel, bite and proportions to see whether a very small refinement is reasonable, or whether the difference is better left alone or handled another way.
Explore tooth reshaping
Front edges help guide how teeth meet, so contacts are checked before any tip is altered.
Contouring balances slight length changes and is not meant to shorten teeth substantially.
What comes off stays off, which keeps every planned adjustment deliberately modest.
Teeth in a neat row can still differ at their tips. The reason for the difference shapes what, if anything, is sensible to do about it.
Sometimes a tiny amount of sound enamel simply extends past the contour you would expect, and that can be a fit for refinement.
Contouring cannot make a tooth longer or wider. A tooth that falls short of its neighbours is a different kind of problem.
Reshaping does not move teeth or roots, so a tooth that has shifted out of line is a position question for an orthodontic assessment.
A refinement this small still follows a clear order, with chances along the way to reassess.
Request your visitTell us what kind of straightening you had, when it ended and whether you still wear a retainer. Then point out the edge that catches your eye.
Each tip is reviewed against its neighbours, along with enamel thickness, any restorations and how the upper and lower teeth meet.
When a change is appropriate, fine instruments remove minimal enamel, and shape is rechecked repeatedly rather than all at the end.
The finished edge is polished, then contacts are reviewed in several jaw positions to see how the change affects your bite.
The dentist doesn’t need a perfect account of your treatment. A rough timeline and an honest description of what still bothers you will go a long way.
If an edge broke suddenly or a tooth hurts, don’t wait on the form. Phone the clinic and explain what happened.

After a long stretch of orthodontic visits, you may be ready for something simpler. Contouring usually stays in the outer enamel, and you can ask what is happening at each stage.
Enamel has no nerve supply, so local anaesthetic is often not needed for this work.
Sensitivity is a reason to stop and reassess, so say something the moment you feel it.
Ask to look at the row during the appointment, so your opinion of the edge counts too.
With the row refined
A tiny change can feel larger than it looks at first. These points can help you decide what is normal adjustment and what deserves a call.
Contouring changes shape and not position, so any instructions from your orthodontic provider still apply.
If your top and bottom teeth start to feel different together, let the clinic know so contacts can be reviewed.
An edge that looks uneven again may mean a tooth has moved, and that calls for a fresh look instead of more trimming.

Helpful details about tooth reshaping in West Kildonan.
Ask our teamThat depends on your teeth and on what your orthodontic provider has advised. Bring up your timeline at the assessment, since the dentist needs to know how settled your bite is before planning a change.
Contouring can soften a very minor visual difference at an edge, yet the tooth stays where it is. If position is the real concern, it needs an orthodontic assessment.
Not necessarily, and substantial shortening would fall outside what this treatment is for. If one tooth is shorter than the rest, adding to it with bonding may come up as an alternative.
They aren’t essential for starting the conversation. If you do have recent records from your provider, ask when you request a visit whether they would be useful for your appointment.
Mention your retainer and bring it along if you can. The dentist can consider it while planning, and any concern about the fit is something to raise before enamel is changed.
