🦷 Invisalign Case 🦷

We were able to correct this patient’s severe crowding with the use of Invisalign treatment. We discussed doing a few anterior composite fillings to build up and even out the lengths of the teeth after his treatment was complete. This patient also used his free take home whitening kit from the office so we were able to match the fillings to his new bright smile. Amazing results!

At Ottawa Heritage Dental, our goal is to help transform your smile into a smile you love💙

This patient came in with an infected front tooth. After discussing treatment options we decided on a bridge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We removed the tooth and placed a bone graft with collagen membrane over the bony defect to help preserve the soft tissue profile. This allowed us to do pontic site development.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We placed a temporary bridge with an egg shaped root profile on the 21 to contour the tissue. After 6 months of healing we removed the temp and took a final impression.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amazing lab work from makes it tough to tell which tooth is missing.

Full mouth rehabilitation for a patient with medication related xerostomia (dry mouth), a suspected history of erosion, and bruxism.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The patient wanted to protect his teeth from further wear and lengthen his front teeth so you could see them when he smiled.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started with a deprogrammer to find CR. Had the lab wax to the platform that we dropped approximately 4mm to add length to the incisors. Then waxed up the posteriors to take him from edge to edge to an ideal OJ.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We then added composite onlays to the posterior teeth to open his bite. Normally we would the prepare the anterior teeth for crowns at this point but due to the bruxism and dry mouth we decided to crown the posterior teeth with zirconia to lock in his occlusion. We built the anterior teeth in composite using the injection moulding technique. We will later complete the anterior teeth and remaining posterior teeth with crowns. The last step to any case like this is a nightguard to help protect his teeth from his bruxism habit, and erosion management.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First attempt at the injection moulding technique. Not as easy as some of the pros make it look. The hardest part is trying to get the Teflon placed on the adjacent teeth in a thin layer with no bunching. If you have any tips let me know below.

Great lab work by Rick at . Rick is fully Kois trained so if your looking for someone that knows his stuff on any of Kois’ principles he’s your guy👍

During dental school I was fortunate enough to spend 2 weeks at Weeneebayko Hospital in Moose Factory providing dental services to the Cree indigenous community there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While there I was met with nothing but smiles, laughter and hospitality from the indigenous community. They invited us ice fishing and for a dinner of moose meat and bannock.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They treated everyone staying in their community with respect and we need to do the same. What happened at the residential schools in this country is terrible and we need to make good on the reparations we promised them. We need to start treating them with the respect and dignity they deserve🧡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would encourage everyone to watch the Canadian movie Indian Horse. Released in 2017, it portrays the treatment children received at residential schools and how society treats indigenous people in general.

Following the we performed in the last post, we proceeded to build up 4 of this patient's front teeth with non-invasive composite bonding that didn't require any cutting of her teeth using .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was very happy with the result. Unfortunately she hasn't been able to show off her new smile because of Covid😷

One of the reasons Invisalign can move your teeth so efficiently is because of attachments. Attachments are tooth coloured filling material that we bond to your teeth to give the trays something to push and pull on.

As you can see, the process is quick and painless with no drilling of your teeth. At the end of treatment we simply polish off the attachments and it’s like they were never there😁

This patient came to us wanting to improve the look of her front teeth. We discussed that we could improve her front teeth, but there were other issues with her bite causing damage to her teeth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the things we discussed with her were:
1. Deep bite (how much her teeth were overlapping in the front and wearing down her top bottom front teeth)
2. Abfractions (the notching at the gum line of her posterior teeth due to the biting forces on her tipped teeth)
3. Uneven gum line on the front 2 teeth which we could see when she laughed
4. Crowding
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She decided that she wanted to address all of the issues to improve her bite and protect her teeth. So we decided to do before we built up her front teeth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can see the amazing results we were able to obtain with Invisalign (and a teaser of her final restorations)

Stay tuned for the before and afters of her non-invasive composite veneers using

I have the best staff!

They surprised me first thing in the morning with a personalized coffee from Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons will only personalize it if you’re a doctor, your first or last name starts with a M, and you order a Dark roast with milk🧐

Figure it out yet? IYKYK

Next was a Masters Green Golf Themed DQ Ice Cream Cake and brownie cheesecake squares.

They also proceeded to decorate my room so every patient knew today was my birthday and Tracey hand made me a golf themed card that all the staff signed.

A perfect Sunday, clinchecks and The Masters.Go Conners Go!
