This young executive woman has ground her teeth flat by bruxism.
Look at how the entire edge of her canines and incisors is missing.
This gives her an aged or "reverse" smile, because the front teeth are shorter than the back teeth.
This is a healthy mouth with no dental disease.
All of the teeth are flattened as if a large file had been used to make them even.
Look carefully at the front teeth to see how the tooth enamel that covered the inner part of the tooth (dentin) is worn through.
The bruxism broke the porcelain off of her lower left crown.
The right side, showing the worn teeth (Teeth are not supposed to be flat).
The left side with broken crown.
Eight teeth had the worn tooth enamel replaced with bonding (compare to photo 4).
Look at how the edges meet now with pretty, rounded youthful tooth shape restored(compare to photo 5).
A new youthful smile in one visit- teeth in a day (compare to photo 1 and 2).
