At Kragor Orthodontics, your smile is our specialty. Whether you’re looking to refine the shape of your teeth or achieve a brighter, whiter smile, our esthetic contouring and Opalescence® professional take-home whitening system deliver safe, customized, and long-lasting results.
Esthetic Contouring
Esthetic contouring, sometimes called tooth reshaping, gently sculpts the enamel to create a more balanced, harmonious smile. By carefully adjusting the length, shape, or surface of your teeth, we can correct small imperfections such as:
- Minor chips or uneven edges
- Slightly overlapping teeth
- Pointed or irregularly shaped teeth
- Teeth that appear slightly longer or shorter than surrounding teeth
This quick, pain-free procedure requires little to no anesthesia and is often completed in a single visit. The results are instant, leaving your smile smoother, more symmetrical, and naturally beautiful.
Opalescence Take-Home Whitening
For a radiant smile that shines with confidence, Kragor Orthodontics offers Opalescence® take-home whitening, a professional-grade system trusted by dentists worldwide. Unlike store-bought kits, Opalescence uses a customized approach to safely and effectively lift deep stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and aging.
Our team provides you with custom-fitted trays and a prescription-strength whitening gel available in different concentrations. You can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, and on your schedule, while achieving dramatic, professional results within days.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is esthetic contouring safe for my teeth?
Yes. Only a very thin layer of enamel is removed to achieve the desired shape. It’s a conservative cosmetic procedure that doesn’t compromise tooth health. - Does esthetic contouring hurt?
No. The process is gentle, and most patients experience no discomfort. Anesthetics are rarely required. - How long do whitening results last?
With good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups using your Opalescence® trays, results can last for many months to a year or more. - Can I combine whitening and contouring?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to have both treatments for a complete smile refresh. Whitening brightens the color while contouring refines the shape. - Is Opalescence® safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes. Opalescence® is formulated with fluoride and potassium nitrate to help strengthen enamel and minimize sensitivity during treatment. - How do I maintain my results?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and limit foods and drinks that stain (such as coffee, tea, and red wine). Use your Opalescence® trays for touch-ups as recommended by our team.
