Case Study 76 – Missing lower right second premolar and replaced with dental implant
Treatment was with braces in the Damon System prior to our use of Insignia. Treatment was to address the absence of her lower right second premolar; she was born without it. Total treatment time was about 28 months with braces. She had her lower right baby second molar removed, and we created space for the missing lower right second premolar. After orthodontic treatment and after she was finished growing, she had a dental implant placed to restore the missing lower right second premolar. Treatment was without removal of any permanent teeth and was without a palatal expander. She had treatment prior to implementation of custom treatment protocols with Insignia.
