Case Study 65 – Recession

Treatment was with braces in the Damon System customized with Insignia.  Her treatment was to address crowding of her teeth with specific focus on the recession the gum tissue around her upper front teeth.  Total treatment time was about 28 months with braces and elastics but was without removal of any teeth and was without a palatal expander. By placing the root of her upper left front tooth properly in the bone, we were able to see a reduction in the appearance of recession (loss of gum tissue) on the cheek surface of the upper left front tooth.  Sometimes, addressing crowding and issues with improper tipping of teeth can provide a positive change for the gum tissue.
