And Function

Esthetics is an increasing concern for patients, particularly in anterior teeth. The current approaches to manage the esthetic demands include options such as prosthodontic rehabilitation, orthodontic treatment, and direct restorations. Direct restorative procedures for anterior teeth have become a reliable alternative, since current composite materials can mimic teeth’s esthetics and function perfectly. This article describes two clinical cases of anterior esthetic rehabilitations where the direct reshaping of the four maxillary incisors was performed using the buccolingual layering technique with the help of a silicone index. In Case 1, a diastema closure was also performed, whereas in Case 2, the replacement of old restorations was also carried out. It was possible to achieve excellent final esthetic results in both cases, recovering the smile symmetry, and both patients were satisfied. The literature supports the use of direct restorations in the anterior region with very good long-term prognosis. It is a minimally invasive approach that is reversible, repairable, cost-effective, and when combined with layering techniques and adequate restorative materials, it is possible to achieve good esthetic and functional outcomes. However, regular maintenance appointments are mandatory, and all cases should be carefully planned to ensure predictable and long-lasting results.

ABSTRACT The scope of orthodontics has widened to include not only children and adolescents but also adults, thereby abolishing the upper age limit. With growing esthetic conscience among the society, a great number of young adults are seeking orthodontic treatment primarily for esthetic reasons. They undergo comprehensive orthodontic treatment involving major occlusal changes to get the utmost esthetically pleasing face. The older adults with poor dental conditions requiring perio-restorative treatment undergo adjunctive orthodontic treatment to attain a long-term prognosis. The orthodontist faces challenges to practice adult orthodontics due to various issues being under considerations, which are quite different than routine orthodontic treatment oriented to children and adolescents. This article highlights the difficulties and limitations faced by the orthodontist while practicing adult orthodontics with remedies to overcome them.
