Minimally Invasive Veneer Case

The patient's chief complaint was not showing any teeth when smiling, leading to esthetic concerns. The dental and medical history revealed no functional issues, with the patient reporting no eating difficulties, joint pain, or jaw discomfort.

It was decided to deprogram the patient to address the esthetic issue and initiate a treatment plan involving opening the vertical and performing veneers and crown-lays from teeth #3-14. Despite the absence of reported functional problems, the decision to deprogram was due to the need to alter the vertical dimension, utilizing a proper orthotic position, specifically centric relation. While vertical dimension can be achieved by orthodontics and/or restorative, this patient's esthetic goal resulted in the restorative approach for this specific case.
