Hello,
This is Apgujeong Yonsei Baro Dental Clinic.
Today, I’d like to introduce a case that combined Invisalign orthodontic treatment and no-prep laminate veneers at Apgujeong Yonsei Baro Dental Clinic.

23.05
The patient visited us for orthodontic treatment because the front teeth were spaced apart.
The lateral incisors are small peg-shaped teeth.

23.05
When I do orthodontic consultations, I often hear things like, “My front teeth are big.”
When you actually look inside the mouth, the front teeth are often a normal size.
They only look that way because the alignment is not straight.

23.05~24.03
It only looks that way because the two central incisors are positioned slightly lower or slightly farther forward. Teeth strictly follow perspective.
Even if a tooth is only 1 mm farther forward than the adjacent tooth, it can look larger than it really is. Conversely, if it is only 1 mm farther back, shadows form and it can look smaller than it really is.

We planned treatment to close the spaces with orthodontics and make room for the JellaMi veneers to fit beautifully.
In June 2023, the first set of 14 aligners was delivered to the clinic, and the patient began wearing the first aligner.

About four months later, in October 2023, after wearing all 14 aligners, this is how things looked on the day the additional aligners were made.
A slight space still remained.
The blue arrows indicate the elastic hooks used to improve the bite relationship.

As a mid-treatment check, we also checked whether the facial midline and dental midline matched well and whether the left-right tilt of the occlusal plane was balanced before proceeding with the additional aligner fabrication.
The second set of aligners was delivered to the clinic in November 2023, and all treatment was completed with the second set in February 2024.
The additional aligner treatment period was 3 months.

This is the appearance right after finishing orthodontic treatment and just before the no-prep laminate veneers.
The attachments, which are essential for Invisalign treatment, are still bonded to the teeth.
Orthodontic treatment was completed while leaving pre-calculated space on both sides of the small peg-shaped teeth.
This space is filled with no-prep laminate veneers.

Both peg-shaped teeth were treated in a balanced way with no-prep laminate JellaMi veneers.

This is the restored appearance of both lateral incisors with no-prep laminate veneers, viewed from the occlusal surface.
After the no-prep laminate veneers are bonded first, a wire retainer can be made.
For those who are curious about the treatment process before Invisalign treatment, I’ll summarize it first.
Initial consultation: May 2023
Invisalign treatment start: June 2023 (first set)
Additional fabrication: October 2023
Additional treatment start: November 2023 (second set)
Orthodontic treatment completed: February 2024
No-prep laminate veneer completion: March 2024
The total treatment period was 10 months, and the first set of 14 aligners was worn for 4 months.
The additional aligners were worn for only 3 months, so the actual orthodontic treatment period was 7 months.
The remaining 3 months were spent waiting for the aligners and for the no-prep laminate veneer fabrication period.

23.05~24.03
At first, the two central incisors definitely looked large, but after the alignment and vertical levels were corrected and the peg-shaped teeth were restored to normal size with veneers, the central incisors no longer look large at all.

23.05~24.03
The spaces between the teeth were also neatly closed.
Q. Is the bite okay after orthodontic treatment?
This is something many people worry about, but the bite was also stably completed.
It is important not only to make the front teeth look better, but also to carry out treatment while considering functional occlusion.

23.05~24.03
With Invisalign orthodontic treatment and no-prep laminate veneer treatment, the overall impression looks neater than before.
I introduce gapped teeth often, but they are a type of malocclusion that can be treated quickly and well with Invisalign.
Gapped teeth and peg-shaped teeth are not simply a matter of tooth alignment;
they often affect tooth proportions and the overall facial impression.
Orthodontics and veneers should not be treated separately;
the most natural and complete results can be achieved when each treatment’s strengths are combined precisely.
