Thank you for your comment, Dr. Acharya. I agree with you that veneers are the ideal treatment plan and that is the goal in this case. However, the patient is an executive director of a major beauty pagaent and very concerned about his appearance on stage, although he does not have the finances now to do the veneers and he asked if we could do a minimal amount of cosmetic contouring to improve the shapes of the teeth and lessen the interincisal distance. So that is why we did just a bit of cosmetic contouring. Nevertheless, the purpose of this video was to show an economic method of doing a trial smile and using the soft white wax is quick and serves the purpose for the economically challanged patient.

I thought the estetic contouring was unproductive for this case. A mock up or a chairside composite add-on would have shown that veneers would be the only way to go

The wax is called rope wax and get it in white...from Modern Materials or Hygienic companies. a good website showing what is available is:

the marking pens are from Masel Orthodontics and is listed on my Xpert page under supplies I use on the bottom left of the page. They are called Alcohol Markers.

GPs: Best Suited to Deliver Orthodontics?
Many dentists are frustrated they were taught to refer the most profitable procedures, such as orthodontics, to specialists. GPs can deliver excellent orthodontics, delighting their patients.

This course highlights advantages GP offices have for providing orthodontics in our digital era using an orthodontic specialist driven collaborative platform.
This webinar outlines a formalized method of support, communication and on-demand education. We provide easy to understand guidelines for the dentist to choose patients with the most predictable problems to treat.
