Reshaping
This is a technique used to remove enamel from the tooth in order to correct some
problem with its shape. For example the tooth may be too long or be chipped leaving it
out of line with the other teeth. In this procedure the dentist will sculpture the tooth by
removing enamel and reshaping the tooth to their design. This procedure is effective in
adjusting over large teeth or repairing damaged or chipped teeth. It is also a valuable
technique in aligning the teeth vertically so that they all have the same uniform height.
