Before
After
This young woman visited me in my clinic several years ago, she was suffering from the absence of one of her front teeth -which did not erupt when she was a child like the rest of her teeth-. When examining the x-ray image, we found that the tooth was hidden in the bone in an inclined position, which trapped and prevented it from erupting naturally.
We used orthodontic braces in order to open a space for this tooth, in addition to rectifying the tooth inclination and pulling it out gradually to its position. But due to our friend's studying circumstances in her country, she has stopped visiting my clinic. After a year had passed, I was surprised with her visit, she was very happy telling me that the tooth had finally erupted in its correct place. The treatment was resumed and the final touches were put on her smile. In the end, our young reviewer obtained her university degree, and a beautiful smile, that she could now enjoy with confidence at her graduation ceremony.
