Happy Independence Day Malaysia! 🇲🇾✨
Let’s take a look at this case where the central incisors decided to be “independent” of each other….Yeap, we’re talking about Median Diastema [spacing between your front teeth].🤗
Why not Braces? 🤔 Answer’s in the second part of this caption.☺️But first, let’s walk through the treatment. 🦷
To achieve this result:
Composite Restoration removal • Smile Design • In-office Dental Whitening • Mock-Up • 8 unit Composite Veneers
Patient initially came in with old, overhanging composite filling on her centrals (swipe left to see). Note that how the overhanging margins have caused Gingivitis!
We discussed about the treatment option of getting Orthodontics treatment (“braces”) to close the gap after filling removal, but before that, we have to consider 2 things:
🦷 Width of the Central Incisors and the Laterals might not be of the proper proportion after filling removal. IPR may be required on the laterals to balance out the ratio.
🦷Patient still has a Class III occlusion (lower teeth are in a more “frontward” position) despite having Braces done before. We might need lower IPR/premolar extractions/retraction with TADs if we were to close that upper teeth gap.
A few other treatment options were discussed and in the end, she decided to proceed with composite veneers.
It is important to discuss treatment options with the patient and go through the pros and cons with them. I always allow my patients to think about their treatment options for a few weeks prior finalising the treatment plan to better the outcome and expectations.☺️
Have a great holiday and a great week ahead yall!🤗
