Case Study #2

This patient underwent orthodontic treatment twice as a teenager. She presented requesting esthetic enhancement, an improved bite, and concern about multiple site of gingival recession.

The upper six images depict her pre-treatment status. Total treatment time was eight months following comprehensive PAOO™ treatment. The lower five images depict her post treatment status four years later. Note the robust muco-gingival complexes.



 


 
Of particular note:
  • The extent of maxillary right arch expansion;
  • Improved muco-gingival stability at all sites;
  • Triangular spaces due to tooth shapes with coronal contact points;
  • Residual minor resection 3 years post-treatment remains unchanged and is being monitored closely;
  • Miller Class 3 recession lesions;
  • Patient is extremely happy and faithful with maintenance care.
