Tratamento ortodôntico pré-protético

Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach is often needed to meet patients' needs. Thus, the present study describes a clinical case in which orthodontic treatment was performed prior to prosthetic treatment. Orthodontics was performed to improve the interdental spaces of the upper and lower teeth for the porcelain veneers. For better distribution of interdental spaces, alignment and leveling were performed previously. Subsequently, open NiTi springs were used to improve the distribution of the spaces. The present clinical case shows the importance of the multidisciplinary treatment in order to attend to the needs and desires of the patient.
