Aesthetic Prosthetics at Gaerong Station Dental Clinic: Fixing Protruding Front Teeth and Gaps at Once Without Orthodontics

Hello.

This is Gaerong Station Dental Clinic.

If the front teeth stick out too far forward,

it is not only something that can be bothersome in terms of appearance,

it can also make it uncomfortable to keep the mouth closed

or create wide gaps between the teeth,

which is not good from a health perspective either.

In such cases, the treatment many people first think of

is orthodontics,

but it can be difficult to make that decision right away

due to the long treatment period and the burden of wearing appliances.

So, is there no choice but to keep living with the discomfort?

Through an example case prepared by Gaerong Station Dental Clinic,

let’s take a look at another alternative.

1. Can it be improved without orthodontics?

Many people think that prosthetics are only for covering broken cavities

or for placing a crown after root canal treatment.

However, prosthetics can also be used for aesthetic purposes,

such as correcting the position, angle, and shape of teeth.

By partially reducing the protruding angle

and adjusting the tooth axis direction with crowns,

it can create the result of front teeth appearing naturally aligned.

Of course, if the malocclusion is caused by the jaw structure itself,

orthodontics and orthognathic surgery are unavoidable,

but if the issue is only the degree to which the teeth themselves are angled,

prosthetic treatment can also achieve a certain level of improvement.

The material prepared by Gaerong Station Dental Clinic this time

is a representative case of exactly that type,

and 6-anterior-tooth crowns can be considered.

2. Amount of tooth reduction and root canal treatment

To restore with prosthetics,

it is necessary to remove a certain thickness of the natural tooth.

At this point, as the amount of reduction increases,

it becomes closer to the pulp,

so root canal treatment must also be considered.

This point is explained sufficiently to the patient,

and the process is carried out carefully.

As mentioned earlier by Gaerong Station Dental Clinic,

after precisely reducing only the necessary amount

so that unnecessary treatment is avoided,

an accurate impression is taken with an oral scanner

and temporary crowns are placed first.

While using the temporary crowns,

we check whether the shape and bite feel natural,

and whether there is any discomfort in daily life.

Also, if there is no hypersensitivity to cold or hot stimulation,

the treatment can be completed without root canal treatment.

3. The golden ratio of front teeth,

a standard for naturalness

When making prosthetics for the anterior region,

a key factor is the size ratio between the teeth.

No matter how good the color or shape is,

if the proportions are not right, it can leave an awkward impression,

so it must be made according to accurate standards.

As a way to meet this condition,

the Levin golden ratio is sometimes used as the standard.

The Levin golden ratio refers to the structure in which

the widths of each front tooth visible from the front

gradually decrease at a certain ratio.

If the width of the central incisor, meaning the front tooth in the middle,

is considered to be 1.6,

the width of the lateral incisor next to it is about 1,

and the canine becomes even smaller.

The ratio explained earlier by Gaerong Station Dental Clinic

is known as a structure that is perceived by the human eye

as the most natural and harmonious.

If 6 front teeth are designed according to this standard,

the size of the front teeth visible at a glance

graduates in a natural flow,

so no specific area stands out or looks awkward,

creating a balanced overall smile line.

4. Results improved without orthodontics

2026.04.02

As a result, even without orthodontics,

it can be improved into a harmonious appearance

that feels like my own teeth.

Front teeth with a natural appearance can be achieved

while still straightening protruding teeth like this;

it is a result that is fully possible even without orthodontics.

Of course, not every case is suitable.

If there is a skeletal problem,

or if the amount of tooth reduction is expected to be too large,

it is necessary to consider other methods.

2026.04.02

That is why, based on an accurate diagnosis,

deciding the direction of treatment

is the most important thing.

If orthodontic treatment feels burdensome

and you have been left worrying about it for a long time,

we recommend having a consultation.

This has been Gaerong Station Dental Clinic.

Thank you.
