Gum? Teeth? Uneven?!


Question:

Gum? Teeth? Uneven?

My teeth are straight but my two front teeth... the amount of teeth and gum showing are uneven. If you can visualize, just visualize one tooth that shows more gum and less tooth than the other side. Can this be fixed? Like somehow the gum be shaved off a bit (ouch)! It's starting to bother me.

Thank you.

And it isn't as unaesthetic as you probably imagined - i have after all lived with it up till this point. The difference is only by a couple mms but it bothers me nonetheless. Anyways thanks for the answers! I appreciate it.
