How Our Patient Overcame Their Fear of Braces With Clear Aligners
Welcome to the inspiring journey of one of our patients at Lai Orthodontics in Albany, CA.
We are happy to share the transformative story of overcoming dental challenges using clear aligners.
If you’ve ever hesitated about seeking orthodontic treatment, this case study is for you.
The challenge: Crowded teeth and a deep overbite
Meet our patient, whose teeth were crowded and challenging to clean.
A prominent front tooth stuck out, and a deep overbite further complicated matters.
These issues affected the smile’s aesthetics and posed difficulties in maintaining optimal oral hygiene.
Hesitation: The fear of traditional braces
Our patient, like many others, felt uneasy about seeking orthodontic treatment. The fear of traditional braces held her back, as she thought it impossible to address her specific concerns without them.
The resolution: Clear aligners for a confident smile
At Lai Orthodontics, we understand the importance of providing effective, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solutions.
By introducing clear aligners into the treatment plan, we aimed to align the teeth, correct the deep overbite, and create a smile our patient could flaunt confidently.
The process: A step-by-step transformation
Step 1: Comprehensive assessment
Our journey began with a thorough examination of the patient’s dental condition.
Digital impressions, X-rays, and photographs were taken to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to her unique concerns.
Step 2: Clear aligner fitting
Once the treatment plan was established, our patient received her custom-made clear aligners.
Unlike traditional braces, these aligners were virtually invisible, allowing her to undergo treatment discreetly.
Step 3: Consistent wear for optimal results
The success of clear aligner treatment relies on the patient’s commitment to consistent wear.
With the patient’s dedication to wearing the aligners full time, we could effectively move the top front teeth to reduce the deep overbite.
Step 4: Precision and refinement
A meticulous approach involving slight tooth shaving was employed to resolve the lower front teeth crowding.
This precision ensured each tooth found its ideal position, contributing to a harmonious and functional bite.
The outcome: A confident smile and improved oral health
Thanks to the appropriate mechanisms of clear aligners and the patient’s excellent ability to follow the regime, we successfully transformed her smile.
The deep overbite was reduced, the top front teeth were aligned, and the lower front teeth crowding was resolved.
