Katy first visited Brightside 4 years ago, primarily because she had always been unhappy with her smile but had never found the right solution for her and it was having a major impact on her confidence.
Various treatment options were considered and Katy decided on having fixed cosmetic braces to straighten her teeth with our principal dentist Dr Ketan Shah. The decision was more significant in her case than most patients as the treatment involved extraction of 4 teeth before fitting the braces (for most of our patients extractions are not required). The braces were in place for 2 years.
Once the teeth were straightened, a course of teeth whitening was carried out to brighten up the colour. Katy had a further problem that a number of her front teeth were chipped and mis-shapen. After looking at different solutions, we carried out the relatively new Smilefast treatment of composite bonding on the upper front 6 teeth and reshaped the lower front teeth – this was done in 2 appointments to complete the transformation of Katy’s new smile.
As you can see from the photos, her smile is unrecognisable to 3 years ago and Katy is very pleased with the results; now smiling instead of covering her mouth which she used to; and is feeling much more confident.
