Complete Your Smile

At Dr. John Orthodontics, we don’t just straighten teeth. We help you love your smile from every angle with expert aesthetic treatments.

Love Your Smile, Not Just Your Straight Teeth

You’ve worked hard for a straight smile, now let’s make sure it shines! Even after orthodontic treatment, you might notice uneven gums, discolored teeth, or lips that don’t highlight your new smile the way you’d like.

Our aesthetic treatments can help you:

✔ Contour your gums for a balanced smile
✔ Enhance your lips for natural volume and shape
✔ Whiten your teeth for that perfect finishing touch
✔ Soften expression lines around the face, enhancing your smile

At Dr. John Orthodontics, we go beyond alignment to create smiles that fit your face and feel effortless.

Getting lip fillers with Dr. John was the best decision after my orthodontic treatment. My lips look fuller but still totally natural. The team made me feel comfortable and explained everything so clearly.

What Are Lip and Gum Aesthetics?

Lip and gum aesthetics focus on creating balance and harmony between your lips, gums, and teeth, helping your smile complement your natural facial features. These treatments can include laser gum contouring, lip filler, and Botox injections to fine-tune the final details of your smile.

Reasons to Consider Lip and Gum Aesthetics After Orthodontics:

Balance your smile after braces or aligners
Reduce a “gummy” appearance or uneven gumline
Add natural fullness to lips that frame your smile

These subtle aesthetic touches can take your smile from great to absolutely stunning, helping you feel confident and camera-ready.

I came to Dr. John for lip fillers and had an amazing experience! I came alone and was SUPER nervous, but all of the ladies there made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was going to like the outcome of my lips. It was a really great experience and Dr. John gave me just what I was looking for!

Once I finished aligners, I felt like my smile was finally where I Wanted it, but my lips needed a little something to match. Dr. John gave me the perfect amount of volume. It looks so natural, and the whole process was quick and painless.

After finishing my braces, I wanted a little boost to complete my smile. Dr. John did my lip fillers and I’m so happy with the results! They look soft and natural, not overdone at all. It gave me that extra confidence I was looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Aesthetics

Is laser gum contouring painful?

Not at all! Laser gum contouring is gentle and precise. Most patients feel little to no discomfort, and healing is quick, usually within a few days. You’ll be able to smile confidently right away.

How long do lip fillers last?

Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on your body and the product used. Dr. John creates natural, subtle enhancements that look balanced and beautiful…never overdone.

Will Botox treatments make my smile look different?

Botox treatments can actually enhance your smile by relaxing the muscles that cause excessive gum show or tension. The result is a softer, more balanced appearance while keeping your natural expressions.

Can I get teeth whitening after braces?

Yes! Whitening is the perfect finishing touch once your braces come off. We offer safe, effective whitening options to brighten your smile without sensitivity.

How do I know which treatments are right for me?

During your consultation, Dr. John will evaluate your smile, gums, and facial balance to recommend the treatments that best fit your goals. Every plan is completely customized to you.
