Case
#6
This patient grew up in the Midwest
when orthodontic crowding of the teeth was treated with
extraction of the canines (I- teeth). Her remaining teeth
never assumed proper alignment. Her front teeth were protrusive
and had excess spacing her posterior arch form was collapsed
as can be seen in the pre-treatment photos.
An attempt was made to cure the problem with veneers.
However, the result looked very unnatural- the teeth were
square and “chicklet” like.
The unaesthetic veneers were removed and replaced with
temporary crowns. Orthodontic braces were placed on the
processed crowns to align the teeth perfectly while also
correcting the overbite, expanding the upper arch. When
the teeth were in alignment the temporary crowns were
replace with all porcelain restorations. Correcting the
bite by leveling the arches also helped improve the esthetics
of the patient’s profile.
