Case Presentation:

Diastema Closure with Composite Bonding in Orthodontic Referral Case

Chief Complaint:

She was referred to Dr. Dhanish by a specialist orthodontist, for comprehensive dental care. Her primary concerns were the diastema (gap) between her upper central incisors and the absence of her upper lateral incisors. The specialist orthodontist had identified these issues and recommended a collaborative approach to address her concerns.

Treatment Plan:

Collaborating with the specialist orthodontist, a comprehensive treatment plan was developed to address Sarah’s concerns in a coordinated manner:

• Diastema Closure with Composite Bonding: Following orthodontic alignment, the diastema was closed using composite bonding. The composite material was skillfully applied and shaped to achieve a natural-looking closure of the gap between her upper central incisors.

Post-Operative Care:

Following the bridge placement, Sarah received detailed instructions on maintaining oral hygiene, dietary considerations, and the care of her new dental bridges. Regular dental visits were recommended to monitor the health and stability of her restorations.

Outcome and Conclusion:

The collaborative approach between our dental practice and Dr. John Smith, the referring orthodontist, successfully addressed her concerns. She is now undergoing orthodontitic treatment before the continuation of her restorative treatment. This case underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieving optimal patient outcomes. The combined efforts of orthodontics and restorative dentistry resulted in a successful aesthetic and functional transformation, which was tailored to her needs.
