Enamel shaping is a process of contouring natural teeth to improve their appearance. When teeth become slightly crowded or uneven, or eyeteeth seem too long, enamel shaping may be used to correct this. However, the process cannot solve all problems.  (See orthodontics)

Enamel shaping, which is often combined with bonding, is usually quick and painless.  No anesthesia is necessary, and the results can be seen immediately. We recommend enamel shaping with caution, however, because enamel cannot be replaced.
