Rachel’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Crowded and crooked teeth treated with clear aligners in under 11 months.
Rachel and her parents were aware of the crowding and crooked nature of her adult teeth. They were originally given a treatment plan and quote for traditional braces by another practice. Rachel was hesitant to get braces as she didn't like how they looked and was worried about not being able to eat what she wanted. Using digital planning technology, Rachel's case was deemed suitable to be treated with clear aligners. With good compliance and modern techniques, Dr Hess was able to predictably straighten Rachel's teeth in under 11 months without having to take any teeth out (case specific). After a couple of weeks of custom teeth whitening, Rachel now has her bespoke smile for life.
Nat’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Four discoloured and misshapen old crowns replaced with new bespoke same day crowns.
Nat was self-conscious of smiling as her old crowns were greying around the edges and were not designed to match her upper lip smile line. She also travelled in from a remote rural town and so temporary crowns (which can easily fall off) were deemed too risky. Therefore, same day crowns were the best treatment option. Dr Hess was able to computer design and manufacture new ceramic crowns in a single day to transform her smile and boost her self-confidence.
Riley’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Class II overbite corrected with orthodontic braces during the optimal teen growth spurt.
Riley and his parents were concerned about the appearance of his 'buck' teeth and also worried how prone those teeth were to damage while playing rugby. X-rays and digital scans (taken in the same consultation) revealed that Riley's overbite was originating from his under-developed lower jaw bone. Both traditional braces and clear aligners were considered as viable treatment options. Riley's parents elected for braces and, as he began treatment before his puberty growth spurt, his braces helped his lower jaw grow into the correct position and achieve the most optimal stable result.
Le’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Severe crowding causing gum disease treated with orthodontic braces.
Le was referred to Dr Hess after many failed attempts of gum disease treatment. Her treatment was failing due to the severely crowded teeth that were hampering both Le and her dentist from being able to effectively remove damaging plaque. She also had been self-conscious of her smile from a young age. As some of her teeth were already becoming loose due to gum disease, braces were chosen to help stabilise the teeth and then straighten them. With modern digital planning and techniques, Le was able to avoid tooth removal and now enjoys straight, gum-disease free teeth. She also smiles much more!
Taylor’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Dental and skeletal underbite treated with traditional braces and clear aligners/Invisalign.
Taylor had always been self-conscious of his teeth and facial profile due to his underbite. He needed his treatment to work around his busy fly-in, fly-out work schedule. Digital scans and custom planning was used to treat the majority of his case in clear aligners/Invisalign, with braces used during his time off work to do larger movements on the jaw. By combining the two orthodontic treatments, Dr Hess was able to give Taylor his bespoke smile while working around tricky clinical conditions and a busy work schedule.
Kaylee’s Bespoke Smiles Story
Spaced and small teeth treated with short-term braces and same day ceramic crowns.
Kaylee was self-conscious as her teeth were spaced unevenly apart and were too small to fill out her smile. Digital Smile Design was used to show Kaylee exactly what her smile would look like. Then a short four month braces treatment helped to evenly position her teeth which was followed by ten ceramic crowns that were manufactured and bonded in a single day. Kaylee now has the confidence to show off her teeth and her bespoke smile.
