Case Study 4

LM had eye teeth that were displaced and positioned highly. It was necessary to remove two teeth and the canines were brought into position using fixed appliances.

PL had trauma to an incisor when younger and the tooth had become fused with the bone as a result. The tooth had to be removed and space was opened for a replacement incisor. We liaised with PL’s Dentist who replaced the incisor with a bridge at the end of treatment.

AA was missing two upper teeth and had a large gap between the upper central teeth as a result. The upper front teeth were behind the lower teeth when the teeth met. A fixed brace was used to bring the upper teeth across the bite and close the space. A bonded retainer was used to keep the gap closed.

DM had prominent front teeth as a result of a small lower jaw. A functional brace was used to grow the lower jaw forwards and then a fixed brace was used to close the spaces.
