Sally, 34

  • Anterior crowding

Chief Complaints:

  • "I hate the gap between my teeth!"

Examination: 

  • The gap was continually getting worse between #8 and 9.

  • Patient had a history of ortho.

Evaluation:

  • Lower anteriors were going to present a challenge as she did have heavy anterior occlusion.

Treatment:

  • IPR and anterior intrusion using munchies provided a predictable and efficient outcome.

  • A bonded lingual retained was added to prevent relapse in the future.
