Orthodontics can do some amazing things. To be able to move teeth into an ideal position for esthetics can significantly influence the outcome of the case. Denver Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp use orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry in Denver to improve their patients smile.
A case in progress Denver Dentist
The following is a case in progress in our office. Basically the orthodontics if finished and we are planning on either some type of dental bonding or dental veneers.
These are actual cases that Dr's DeLapp have completed or are in the process of completing. The following case is a good example of the fact that it may take several different dental disciplines in order to get the result we seek.
This case shows the remarkable nature of orthodontics. The space between the front teeth was excessive and there is no way that our Denver Dentists could improve the esthetics. The reason for the wide gap (diastema) is a frenum attachment between the front teeth. The frenum is very fibrous tissue that can keep teeth apart. The teeth will stay apart until this tissue is removed. One of the first steps in this case was to remove the frenum attachment.
Stage 2 Orthodontic Denver Dentist
The Second stage was for the orthodontist to approximate the two front teeth. This took a couple of years to get accomplished and the outcome was very good.
Stage three Dental veneers or dental bonding Denver Dentist (pending)
The last stage our Denver Dentist and patient is looking at is one of the following:
- No treatment leave as is ( a much better result than the before!)
- Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching only (for a brighter smile)
- Dental filling to fix the broken tooth on #9 patients left central incisor
- Dental bonding to fix the broken tooth#9 and add to the worn tooth #8 patients right central incisor
- Dental veneers and dental whitening to align both front teeth
