Before

| Chief Complaint | Concerns about the future of her teeth |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis | Dental malocclusion (crowding), congenitally missing teeth, and fused teeth |
| Age / Gender | Female, 50s |
| Treatment Duration / Visits | 40 months |
| Treatment Method | At the initial examination, the patient presented with multiple non-vital teeth (teeth without nerve) accompanied by malocclusion, and future complications from tooth fracture were anticipated. Before problems arose in each tooth, clear aligner orthodontics was used to correct tooth positioning, followed by ceramic restorations, with the goal of reducing long-term risks. |
| Cost | ¥4,000,000 |
| Notes | Full-mouth treatment is required, so the treatment period will be lengthy. Some procedures are not covered by insurance, resulting in additional costs. During the treatment period, the patient must live with temporary crowns, which may occasionally become damaged or dislodged. |
