This is not your regular case. this patient had a history of drinking mountain Dew and poor oral hygiene. We decided to build this patient from the ground up. We discussed the importance of good oral hygiene, and how important it was that going forward, he takes care of his teeth.
With extreme care- we rebuilt his teeth using multiple shades of composite resin. It took many appointments, and many times the cavities just kept wrapping around the tooth.
These kind of cases aren't the sexiest, but they are so feel good π§π He's getting jaw surgery, and then orthodontic work to correct his bite
What's more satisfying is that he's taking better care of his teeth, his confidence is growing, and he's excited to see the results of jaw surgery and orthodontics.
Can't wait to see the development of this handsome fella. Feel happy to be part of his journey, and sorry to the orthodontist who may feel confused why the brackets keep falling off π
It took many appointments, and many times the cavities just kept wrapping around the tooth. You can see in the last picture, we had to utilize special techniques to isolate and ensure the environment was suitable for fillings, as our patient had a heavy gag reflex.
