INTRUDED CENTRAL INCISORS

This patient was unhappy with her maxillary incisors. Her central incisors slanted in while her lateral incisors flared out. Too much gum tissue added an additional visual complication. Her bicuspid teeth slanted inward, creating a narrow arch.

Her concerns were satisfied by trimming away the excess gum tissue above her maxillary central incisors and placing ten porcelain veneers. Her central incisors were brought forward while her lateral incisors were brought in. The outer surfaces of her bicuspids were

brought out to broaden her arch. All this was accomplished in just two visits. 49
