Case Study 77 – Missing upper right lateral incisor, peg upper left lateral incisor, and replaced both with dental implants
Treatment was with braces in the Damon System prior to our use of Insignia. Treatment was to address the absence of her upper right lateral incisor and was also to address the very small upper left lateral incisor (“peg” lateral incisor). Total treatment time was about 26 months with braces. She had her upper left “peg” lateral incisor removed because it was too small to be restored well, and we created space for the two missing upper lateral incisors. After orthodontic treatment and after she was finished growing, she had a dental implants placed to restore the missing lateral incisors Treatment was without a palatal expander. She had treatment prior to implementation of custom treatment protocols with Insignia.
