Perfecting the symmetry of a smile by placing dental bonding and tooth recontouring.
This dental makeover showcases a smile that's in the middle of having orthodontic treatment.
Evidently while examining their teeth, this person has noticed some minor tooth shape and alignment irregularities. What we've done with this makeover is to illustrate some of the ways dentists can remedy these types of issues.
We should state, this person is obviously in active treatment and there's no way we could possibly know what plans their orthodontist has for the final outcome. Our makeover is simply based on the premise: If this "before" picture represents the alignment of this person's teeth at the end of their treatment (which it may not), here are some frequently used solutions.
Case issues and concerns:
Tooth shape.
In their email, this person requested that we "simulate bonding in between my front two teeth because the little gap bothers me!"
Beyond that issue, we also noticed that the biting edge of the upper right central incisor has some minor wear or chipping, and as a result doesn't exactly mirror the shape of the left one.
Tooth alignment.
Also in their email, this person requested that we make it "so the tops of my bottom teeth are even."
We noticed that the left/right symmetry of this person's smile (at this point in their treatment anyway) wasn't exactly perfect, so we improved upon that too.
