Immediately the patient was thrilled and happy to just have no preparation com- posite bonding as the final part of the treat- mentratherthanveneers. The part of the process is vital as allowing a patient to see their teeth align and whiten often helps then to comprehend the best po- tential in their own natural smile before tak- inganirreversibleroute. Twoweekslater,anindirectwireretainerwas bonded in place after roughening the teeth andusingetchandoptionedwithVenusDia- mondFlow. On the same day, direct composite edge bonding was carried out. Venus Diamond (Heraeus Kulzer) OL shade dentine was placed initially to block out the visual join and B1 and BL shade were used on the facial surfaces- and blended into the surface of the teeth. The patient returned for her polish- ing appointment and the material was fully blendedintothetooth.Atthispointtheblack trianglewasclosedalso. Lateral and anterior guidance was rechecked and adjusted and a new impression was tak- enforanight-timeessix/backupretainer. Discussion This case was completed in less than 10 weeks. By allowing this patient to see small changes a little at a time, she was able to see the very best potential in her own smile- and to make the decision to move to composite edges instead of just jumping straight into porcelain veneers. The long term biological and cost and economic cost also means that the risks are lower. There is certainly nothing wrong with placing porcelain veneers on a case like this, but one can see that following the logic of progressive smile design, you never really know what the patient wants unless they are able to see the very best in their own smile and they might be happy with a small amount of bleaching, alignment or bonding. Added to the fact that the long termrisksofcaseslikethisarelower,andthis kindoftreatment ismoreaccessibletomany more patients, and one can see the potential formanypatientsaroundtheworld.
