Hello, this is Lucid Dental Clinic.
When teeth overlap or the alignment is uneven,
the overall impression when smiling may appear less neat.
In particular, when the front teeth and side teeth are both misaligned,
it can give the impression that the entire bite balance is off,
not merely that there is a problem with color or shape.
This case is one in which the aesthetic tooth line was improved with Lucinate
for teeth that were unevenly aligned and partially overlapping.

Looking at the first photo, the tooth alignment is not consistent,
showing an overall uneven bite.
In such cases, the teeth may appear overlapped and give an unrefined impression,
and because the tooth height and direction are not consistent,
the smile line may look uneven. Food can also get caught more easily,
and oral care may become more difficult.
Also, when viewed from the side, if the protrusion or
angle of the teeth is not consistent, the balance of the mouth area may be off,
which can create an even more awkward appearance.

The second photo shows the result after the Lucinate procedure.
As the design was carried out while considering the angle and alignment of the teeth,
the overlapping teeth were naturally organized and the overall bite line
was improved into a more balanced and smooth line.
Lucinate is a method of designing the tooth surface while considering the shape,
direction, and proportion of the teeth, and it can be performed with the goal
of improving the aesthetics of the bite line.
After the procedure, the tooth alignment appears more even,
the angles and sizes of the teeth are harmoniously organized,
and the overall impression is improved with a bright and uniform color.
A method to consider when orthodontic treatment feels burdensome
When the bite is uneven, orthodontic treatment is generally the first option
people think of, but depending on a person’s dental condition or the direction they want,
other methods may also be considered together.
In particular, when the front teeth appear slightly overlapped,
when the direction or angle of some teeth is misaligned,
or when a relatively short-term aesthetic improvement is desired,
it may be worth considering an aesthetic design improvement through Lucinate.
