Summary: Anasha completed an 18-month course of fixed braces to treat a diastema (gap between the front teeth), a deep bite, and an increased overbite.
Treatment included six months of elastic wear, fortnightly remote monitoring via Dental Monitoring, one brace repair, a bonded retainer to keep the gap closed and teeth whitening at the final appointment.
Initial Concerns
At her initial consultation, clinical examination identified three issues:
- Diastema – a visible gap between the upper front teeth
- Deep bite – excessive vertical overlap of the front teeth when biting down
- Increased overbite – the upper front teeth positioned further forward than normal
Braces Treatment Plan
After reviewing the options with Anasha, fixed braces were agreed as the best way to address all three issues together.
The plan combined:
- Fixed braces to reposition the teeth and close the diastema
- Elastic bands, worn for around six months, to correct the bite
- Fortnightly Dental Monitoring scans, allowing Dr Francis to track progress remotely between in-person visits
- A bonded retainer, fitted at the end of treatment to prevent the diastema reopening
- Teeth whitening, completed at the final appointment
About Her Braces Treatment Journey
Over 18 months, Anasha’s progress was reviewed remotely every two weeks using Dental Monitoring, reducing the number of in-person visits needed while keeping treatment on track. She required only one brace repair across the entire course of treatment – a strong indicator of consistent compliance.
The Result
Anasha finished treatment with the diastema closed, her bite corrected and a whiter smile following whitening at her final appointment.
