Patient Background
Charlie had undergone orthodontic treatment, but some spacing issues remained that Invisalign couldn’t fully correct. His lateral teeth were shorter and asymmetrical, with one tipped inward. He wanted a balanced, even smile but preferred a minimally invasive approach without needing crowns or veneers. To ensure his natural teeth matched the bonding shade, Charlie first completed a Zoom whitening session before proceeding with treatment.
Course of Treatment
- Zoom Whitening Session – Brightened natural teeth before bonding to ensure a consistent shade.
- Custom Bonding Design – Carefully reshaped the lateral incisors for ideal symmetry and proportion.
- Composite Bonding Application – Applied tooth-colored bonding material to build up the shorter lateral teeth and correct tipped positioning.
- Final Polishing & Refinements – Ensured a seamless blend with surrounding teeth for a natural look.
Results
Charlie was thrilled with his new smile, achieving:
- A symmetrical, balanced smile without veneers or crowns.
- Minimally invasive treatment with no anesthesia.
- A brighter, more even tooth shade after Zoom whitening.
- Increased confidence with a natural, polished look.
