✨Transformation Tuesday!✨
This patient came to us with:
🔹 Gummy smile
🔹 TMJ symptoms
🔹 Canted smile
When Tempestt came to us she had two things on her mind, her gummy smile had always made her self conscious, and her TMJ symptoms had been affecting her daily comfort.
During her exam Dr. Frost identified something else that was quietly contributing to both, a canted smile that needed to be corrected alongside everything else to achieve the balanced, harmonious result she deserved.
We started Tempestt in a full set of braces and light wires, and two months into treatment placed four TADs to begin the intrusion process that would address her gummy smile and start bringing everything into better balance.
Over the next ten months we worked steadily on her intrusion, carefully and intentionally, until we reached our goals. Her TADs were then tied off to hold her progress while she continued advancing through her wires and elastics.
At her debond we finished with detailed hard tissue contouring to polish off every final detail, followed by a gingivectomy on her upper 5-5 to expose more crown height and reveal the full, sweeping smile we had been building toward from day one.
Six weeks later Tempestt came back and her results were absolutely beautiful. 🩵
What makes Tempestt's case so special is that she came in carrying two very real concerns, how her smile looked and how her jaw felt. And she's leaving with both resolved.
That's what comprehensive treatment planning looks like. Not just chasing aesthetics. Not just addressing symptoms. But looking at the full picture and creating a result that improves how you look, how you feel, and how you move through the world every single day.
Tempestt you were incredible throughout this entire process. This smile was worth every appointment. ✨🩵
