The patient came to my office with a request to correct the shape of crowded lower central incisors. Because he refused time consuming orthodontic treatment, I decided to perform it with minimally invasive direct composite reconstructions.

After correcting the enamel on the proximal surfaces of the incisors, I used an anterior dissection matrix and a profiled wedge from the Garrison Fusion™ Anterior Matrix System.

I then aligned the lingual surfaces of both incisors, increasing the mesial surface volume of tooth 25.

The profiled wedge assured perfect adherence of the matrix in the gingival part and the properly selected size supported symmetrical shape of both incisors.

Then, also applying the same matrix system, I aligned the labial surface in both central incisors, increasing the volume of the mesial proximal wall in the incisor 24.
