Application of Cosmetic Contouring in Orthodontic Esthetic Dentistry- A Case Report

Abstract

Cosmetic contouring is a quick and relatively straight forward process involving minor reshaping of chipped, fractured or overcrowded teeth. It is a subtle procedure, involving minimal discomfort, which allows the correction of minor flaws of the teeth to create a clean looking, uniform and straighter smile by simply ‘smoothing’ the surface of your teeth. A case is reported to high lighten the usefulness of cosmetic contouring in conjunction to orthodontic esthetic therapy by using the Roth system 018 slot size brackets and cosmetic contouring with fissure bur which resulted in painless, cost effective treatment with pleasing smile and improved dento-gingival health.
