Before
After
This patient presented to the office with advanced wear on most of his teeth. As a result of the wear, the teeth have shifted. Orthodontic treatment was provided to move the teeth back to their original positions, and Dr. Jack Hosner of Portage Michigan bonded composite resin (a tooth colored restorative material) to the worn surfaces for proper tooth size and shape. That is what these photographs show. The orthodontics can now be completed. Final crowns for all of the teeth can be made and placed on the teeth following the completion of orthodontics. That has not been done yet in this case.
