In our dental practice, we enhance smiles by combining orthodontic treatment with veneers. This approach is especially effective after teeth are aligned. Veneers then improve tooth color and shape for a stunning smile. We use Digital Smile Design (DSD) to ensure the final outcome meets patient expectations.
The Process
After orthodontic treatment, we start planning for veneers. Here's how it works:
Evaluation: We first assess your dental health and the alignment results from orthodontics to determine the suitability for veneers.
Digital Imaging: We take high-resolution images and digital scans of your teeth. This helps us understand your dental structure in detail.
DSD Planning: Using DSD software, we input these images and create a digital mock-up of how veneers can enhance your smile.
Patient Review: You'll review this digital preview, giving you a clear picture of the potential results. It's a collaborative step to ensure your vision aligns with the treatment plan.
Benefits
Precision: Digital planning allows for highly accurate veneer design, tailored to your unique dental structure.
Integration: Veneers are designed to complement the orthodontic work, ensuring a natural and functional smile.
Patient Satisfaction: Seeing the planned outcome beforehand enhances understanding and satisfaction with the treatment process.
Lily's Journey
Lily came to me after her orthodontic treatment, seeking further aesthetic enhancement. Here's how I approached her case:
Post-Orthodontic Assessment: I examined her aligned teeth and discussed her aesthetic goals.
Digital Documentation: Next, I took detailed scans of Lily's teeth, capturing the precise post-orthodontic state.
DSD Visualization: Using DSD, we crafted a digital model of Lily's future smile with veneers, considering her facial symmetry and personal preferences.
Collaborative Planning: Lily reviewed the digital mock-up, and we made adjustments based on her feedback, ensuring the final plan was exactly what she envisioned.
Lily's case exemplifies the detailed planning and collaborative nature of integrating veneers post-orthodontics, leading to a beautifully enhanced smile that met all her expectations.
Merging veneers with post-orthodontic treatment through Digital Smile Design offers a tailored, patient-centered approach to smile enhancement. The detailed planning and visualisation steps ensure every patient can achieve their desired smile with confidence.
