Our case of the month for December involves the cosmetic and functional correction of very crooked lower teeth. Crooked lower teeth can cause all sorts of problems:
1. Poor oral hygiene
2. Major build up of plaque and tartar
3. Gum inflammation
4. Uneven bite
5. Poor aesthetics
Our case is a very typical of very crowded lower teeth causing all of the above. Have a look:
Crooked lower teeth, is there space to correct them?
The main issue is always space and generally there is a lack of space. After a full and thorough examination, a decision was made to use a full arch lingual brace. The main reason for this was the aesthetic factor; it is truly invisible being on the inside of the teeth. This is certainly not the easiest technique for our client or indeed our dentist, Dr Nissit Patel, but the results speak for themselves. The lingual brace:
The lingual brace in situ. Hidden on the inside of the teeth.
The end result:
Straight teeth- what a difference!
What a change! The lower front teeth are now straight, even, easy to clean and maintain. Our client was delighted and we are thrilled with the end result. The treatment was completed using STB lingual brackets by Dr Nissit Patel. The photographs are the sole property of Dr Nissit Patel and any reproduction is strictly prohibited.
