Where science meets art in smile design.
The roots of Dr Nina’s Signature Contouring
Over the years, I realised that aligning teeth alone wasn’t always enough to create the smiles my patients truly deserved. Most adult teeth carry little imperfections — subtle asymmetries, worn edges, uneven light — that braces or aligners can’t change. I didn’t want to mask natural teeth with materials such as composite or veneers, which demand constant upkeep. I wanted to celebrate what was already there — just refined.
Dr Nina’s Signature Contouring is my minimally invasive protocol — a unique art form I’ve developed over the past decade, shaped by how light naturally reflects and dances across enamel when a tooth is precisely contoured. It blends evidence-based orthodontics with artistry, enhancing natural tooth form through controlled, delicate adjustments guided by light, symmetry, and proportion.
Developed through thousands of aligners and fixed cases, this method unites clinical precision with creative intuition to achieve results that are both natural and harmonious with the patient’s facial features. It’s about understanding how small changes in contour influence light reflection, refining the perceived shape and balance of each tooth, creating a more beautiful smile.
