Jacob – Gap in top teeth. Teeth proportion issues.
“It turns out this case was a gift from one Blugold linebacker to another” – Dr. Glaser –
The Challenge
This patient came to us wanting to close the spacing in his upper front teeth. He was initially interested in a clear aligner therapy. His upper front teeth were proportionately small, creating a tooth-size discrepancy between his top and bottom teeth. His naturally broad lower arch and straight lower teeth created a scenario where moving teeth wouldn’t achieve his goal.
The Solution
After thoroughly evaluating his bite, Dr. Glaser determined that the best course would be placing porcelain restorations on his upper front six teeth instead of closing the spaces orthodontically.
The Result
By stabilizing his bite and working within the patient’s natural anatomy, we achieved a predictable long-term outcome and gave him the smile he had always dreamed of.
Steven – Ground down teeth. Tooth movement issues.
The Challenge
The patient came to Dr. Glaser’s office concerned about his worn front teeth. He was already most of the way through his orthodontic treatment with a local orthodontist. Through years of untreated bruxism, the patient experienced compensatory eruption, a process in which the teeth vertically shift as they try to “hit” something, mainly on his front teeth. This movement creates a scenario that is difficult to treat with just restorative dental care because the teeth become shorter over time.
The Solution
Moving the teeth back to their original position with the help of a very skilled orthodontist allowed Dr. Glaser the room to restore the teeth to their natural size. Dr. Glaser placed crowns on the front six top and bottom teeth. By creating harmony in the patient’s bite, Dr. Glaser was also able to mitigate the risk of the patient experiencing additional uneven tooth wear in the future.
The Result
Years later, this patient continues to sport a healthy smile and no longer worries about losing his front teeth due to severe tooth wear. He is enjoying his retirement with a healthy and rejuvenated smile!
“Despite this patient being a Packer fan, we could agree on one thing… that the end result was a great success!” – Dr. Glaser –
