Case Study 1

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.

AN had severe crowding with blocked out lateral incisors and a reduced overbite. The upper arch of teeth were expanded and aligned using a fixed appliance.

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.
