I am finally to the point of actually working on my wife, Joyce's teeth. She started in a MAGO back when I started my bioesthetic eduacation. After ridding her of her neck and shoulder, and aligning her jaw it was determined she needed to have jaw surgery. This was to correct the misalignment in the relationship between her upper and lower jaw bones.
The surgery was performed in September 2010. After healing from this, she was back in a MAGO to again optimally align her lower jaw. Once aligned, diagnosis was done to determine the best alignment of the teeth. Working with Champlain Dental lab, an ideal occlusion was determined for her bite and facial esthetics.
The last three days were spent preparing her teeth for crowns. 27 teeth were prepared and temporized. It is three long days. The patient did wonderfully. The next step is to take the impressions for the crowns. For now we will fine tune the bite and allow her system to get used to the new teeeh.
WHEW !!
