What I like about these two cases is that they highlight how one fundamental problem in both mouths (crowding) was treated in two different approaches to achieve the same end goal; a beautiful smile for each patient.
In the first case we see porcelain veneers used to mask the discrepancies in size, shape and colour of the teeth. The result is stunning and was achieved relatively quickly, the whole case taking less than a month from start to finish! The work was done by Russell Blanchard and his ever present nurse Phillipa, both of whom are now massively experienced at this kind of work.
In this second case the patient elected to have orthodontic work to reposition her teeth, followed by whitening to enhance their appearance. The orthodontics was done using the Invisalign technique (no fixed braces are used, just removable trays) and the treatment was carried out by Dr Tim Bamford in Tunbridge Wells. The whitening was completed by Dr Ian Kerr here at StoneRock. The patient was delighted with her results and has avoided any drilling to her teeth so they have remained untouched through out. Once the permanent retainers are fitted to the backs of the teeth the new smile will be held in position for life. The case took 20 months to complete but has transformed the smile completely.
