Fig. 8: Six weeks postop Treatment review and conclusion Overall, the patient was extremely happy with both the orthodontic and periodontic treatments received. The treatment of a smile with uneven and excessive gingival display can often be challenging. On occasion a patient's chief complaint can be resolved only through an interdisciplinary approach. This case study is one example of how the disciplines of orthodontics and periodontology worked closely together from the initial stages of diagnosis and treatment planning, right through to executing the treatment, to finally delivering the results to satisfy the patient's expectations, giving her the great smile she always desired. ■ Review; arrows indicate areas requiring revision References 1.
