Transformation Tuesdays🔥🤩
This young woman was transferred in the initial stages of her treatment from a colleague for continuing her braces journey since she had moved here. Problem list included:-
- Ant open bite tendency (transient)
- Gummy smile
- Patient was not willing for extraction of premolars
- Prominent lower incisor roots(roots closer to labial cortex)
- Class III tendency
The patient agreed for lower third molar extraction and TADs were placed in 36-35,45-46 interradicular regions post 38,48 extraction for lower arch distallization. Later on TADs were also placed in the maxillary anterior region(11-12,21-22 region) for gummy smile correction by intrusion.
Treatment completion took close to 27-28 months as transient sensitivity was felt by the patient in the lower incisors due to slight worsening of the lower root inclination and proximity to the labial cortex which needed to be corrected and the bite was then settled.
Overall the patient was extremely pleased with the outcome and left smiling wide!😃
P.S. .divya.keshan_orthodontist thank you ma’am for entrusting this case and finding me skilled enough to conclude it!😃🙏🏻
Patient was also advised regarding extraction of upper wisdom teeth in the near future.
