In an ideal setting, we could have corrected the alignment, created space for the missing lateral tooth, and worked through a more comprehensive treatment plan. And yes, those options were discussed because patients deserve to understand what is ideal and why.
But Dentistry is never one-size-fits-all. Sometimes, timing, priorities, emotions, and life itself ask us to find a treatment path that is still ethical, informed, functional, and meaningful - even if it is not the textbook-perfect route.
Not a shortcut, but just the best possible middle ground 🫶🫶🫶
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMMAS!! 🩷💚🩵💜
