Achieving Longer Teeth Through Comprehensive Dental Restoration

About This Case

The patient came in asking for longer teeth — a common esthetic concern in otherwise healthy dentition. But the examination revealed wear patterns suggesting underlying bite problems, which made the request anything but simple. This case explores how occlusion, facial structure, and lip support all factored into the plan, and why orthodontic correction had to come before any restorative work to make the final result predictable.
