To achieve an ideal smile, anterior maxillary labial gingival margin position plays a vital role. The gingival margin position is sometimes disturbed during or after the orthodontic treatment, which is mainly due to difficulty in plaque control, resulting in gingival enlargement. Anterior surgical crown lengthening may be undertaken to treat the gingival enlargement. A 23-year-old girl came to Department of Periodontics, with a chief complaint of anunaesthetic smile resulting from orthodontictreatment. Under local anesthesia, gingivectomy and frenectomy were carried out in the anterior maxillary arch (13 to 23) and periodontal dressing was given and followed up to 6 months. She was very satisfied with the aesthetic result.
