My first free hand direct composite veneer(monoshade)case
The patient initially presented with aesthetic concerns, refused ortho in this time
I convinced him with ortho
Even he will do ortho he need to restore these teeth
(Orthodontist will stripping or reshaping the teeth)
The patient had four anterior teeth retruded palatally, associated with a deep bite and bilateral posterior stoppers
The occlusion was maintained
Gingival contour and zenith point required adjustment; however, complete correction would have resulted in an overly rectangular appearance of the teeth.
Reduction was carried out on the mesial surfaces of the lateral incisors to allow the central incisors to appear slightly wider, with compensation done on the distal surfaces.
The line angles of the central incisors were positioned farther apart to give them a wider appearance, while the line angles of the lateral incisors were placed closer together to make them appear smaller.
The incisal edges were designed broader to create the appearance of proper alignment.
The incisal design was kept sharp to harmonize with the patient’s male facial features and strong jawline.
3 months follow up till now with no complain
This approach served as a temporary aesthetic solution until the patient decides to proceed with orthodontic treatment
Even if orthodontic treatment will be done, these teeth still need to be filled and the decay cleaned.
