Happy Independence Day Malaysia! 🇲🇾✨
Let’s take a look at this case where the central incisors decided to be “independent” of each other….Yeap, we’re talking about Median Diastema [spacing between your front teeth].🤗

Why not Braces? 🤔 Answer’s in the second part of this caption.☺️But first, let’s walk through the treatment. 🦷

To achieve this result:
Composite Restoration removal • Smile Design • In-office Dental Whitening • Mock-Up • 8 unit Composite Veneers

Patient initially came in with old, overhanging composite filling on her centrals (swipe left to see). Note that how the overhanging margins have caused Gingivitis!

We discussed about the treatment option of getting Orthodontics treatment (“braces”) to close the gap after filling removal, but before that, we have to consider 2 things:
🦷 Width of the Central Incisors and the Laterals might not be of the proper proportion after filling removal. IPR may be required on the laterals to balance out the ratio.
🦷Patient still has a Class III occlusion (lower teeth are in a more “frontward” position) despite having Braces done before. We might need lower IPR/premolar extractions/retraction with TADs if we were to close that upper teeth gap.
A few other treatment options were discussed and in the end, she decided to proceed with composite veneers.

It is important to discuss treatment options with the patient and go through the pros and cons with them. I always allow my patients to think about their treatment options for a few weeks prior finalising the treatment plan to better the outcome and expectations.☺️

Have a great holiday and a great week ahead yall!🤗

What would you suggest patient to do when you first see this case? For me, it was Orthodontic treatment (or “Braces”).

But this patient did her research and knew what she wanted. Apart from closing her median diastema (space between upper front teeth), she wanted to have fuller smile arch & larger tooth size as well. (I was surprised when she knew the term “Smile arch”! She really did her research.😂)

To achieve this result:
Smile Design • In-Office Whitening • No-Prep Composite Veneers

8-units composite veneers were done with injection molding technique with @gc_malaysia G-aenial Universal Injectable Composite (Shade A1) & Zhermack Clear Silicone template, and minor touch ups with @dental2u composite instruments.

We’ve increased the buccal fullness of the upper anteriors as well as restoring the proper smile arch. See how wide she smile after the veneers are placed? Most of my patients started “learning” how to smile (or are nagged by me to practice how to smile properly 😂) when they’re finally confident with their pearly whites.

Happy week ahead y’all! 🤗

Sometimes, a little touch is all it takes.🦷✨

To achieve this result:
In-office whitening • Removal of Old Restoration (Fillings) • Median Diastema (Space) Closure with Composite Restoration

Patient is concerned about the “gap” on her front teeth that has fillings done before. Having ortho treatment out of her preferred options, we have decided to remove her old fillings and replace with new ones after In-Office Whitening has been done.

Free hand composite build-up done with @3moralcaremalaysia 3M Z350XT A3 Enamel shade (My fav go-to composite enamel shade) using the Mylar Pull technique along with @dental2u instruments. Polishing is done with @shofudentalapac One Gloss & Diacomp Eve Twist.

It is common to have composite fillings discolouration after years especially if you’re a big fan of coffee and curry (like me😂Who doesn’t love coffee and curry?!). Periodic polishing of your composite fillings by your dentist can help remove certain stains. After all, maintenance is equally important as the treatment itself. In this case, we wanted to give the centrals a better morphology, therefore we decided to replace the fillings instead of only polishing it.

Have a great weekend y’all!🤗

Frenectomy can look scary right? ?
But in dentistry, labial (“upper lip”) frenum is often reduced to a certain level, because a low labial frenum attachment can cause Median Diastema (Space in between your front teeth). It can also lead to gum diseases (gingivitis) if the position of frenum is so near to the gums and is in the way where your toothbrush should be.

Even if you’ve got your braces done, the chance of Median Diastema relapse is high with a low maxillary frenum attachment. This means that your teeth are “returning back” to their old position before braces, or in this case, the spacing in between the front teeth “comes back” again!
This is because the frenum is constantly “pulling” the tissue in between your teeth when you engage it, for example, when you smile.

A frenectomy is able to help reshape your frenum up to the proper level, thus eliminating the chances of orthodontic relapse and gum diseases. ?
