Our young patient here, an 18 year old female, presented to the office with a history of previous orthodontic work and persistent excessive spacing (diasthema) on her front teeth due to undersized or "peg" shaped lateral incisors. After discussing a number of treatment plans recommended by Dr. Petulla, the patient opted to bleach her teeth with the Zoom take-home whitening system.
After establishing the degree of whiteness desired, chairside Esthet-X composites were placed to build her front teeth to a size that eliminated the gaps (diasthema), simulataneously creating a certain cosmetic harmony. A smile that aesthetically compliments her face.
Our patient was quite pleased with the cosmetic result. As she gains a few more years in age, the composite bonding will be removed and replaced with Empress porcelain crowns.. thereby establishing her adult, permanent smile.
