This is a re-posting of an awesome episode on enamel recontouring that was released in June 2023. Our audience has grown so much since that time and I'd like for all our new viewers to be able to provide this amazing service to their patients! In this episode, I review the art and science of recontouring anterior teeth that will set your work apart from your competitors and have your patients raving about how their teeth look!
Important points that will be discussed include:
- Which teeth to recontour to achieve the best results.
- The differences between recontouring in Phase I and Comprehensive Treatment.
- At what stage of treatment to perform recontouring and how this differs for patients in braces versus those undergoing clear aligner therapy.
- How to set the teeth up to be recontoured.
- How to avoid tooth sensitivity.
- Technique to use to perform the recontouring, including what handpiece, burs, and disks to use.
Numerous sample cases will be presented as will a detailed, narrated, step-by-step video where I demonstrate recontouring the teeth of one of my patients!
