Anna was bothered by her uneven teeth and asymmetrical smile.
She spent two years deciding whether to start orthodontic treatment—a decision that takes time to mature.
This was a case where aesthetics directly depended on proper function.
Treatment stages:
Diagnostics and planning:
We conducted a complete diagnosis, determined orthodontic goals, and agreed on a step-by-step treatment plan.
Preparation:
We performed a complete oral cavity sanitation and removed the 8th teeth — a necessary step for stable orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatment:
Anna underwent about 2 years of treatment with braces.
During this time:
– we aligned her teeth,
– corrected her bite,
– reduced asymmetry,
– stabilized the position of her jaws.
Final aesthetics:
– After orthodontic treatment, the following was performed:
E.max ceramic veneers on the 4 upper front teeth;
– ceramic restoration of the chewing tooth — for complete functional balance.
Result:
A harmonious smile with correct proportions, even bite, and stable function.
The asymmetry became less noticeable, the teeth became even, and the smile became confident and natural.
Sometimes time passes between consultation and the start of treatment.
The main thing is that Anna took this step and got a result that was worth the wait.
