Dentist Letter from Orthodontist

01/11/2024 Dear Doctor, Thank you very much for your kind referral of Emily Carter. I saw Emily today for an orthodontic assessment. Emily's main concern is the alignment of her upper front teeth, which she feels impacts her smile and confidence. She also reports difficulty in thoroughly cleaning the crowded areas, leading to concerns about potential dental health issues. A clinical extra-oral examination showed a symmetrical facial profile with a slightly convex profile. Lip posture was competent at rest. No significant soft tissue findings were noted. Intra-orally Emily presented with moderate crowding in the upper anterior region, a 3mm overjet, and a mild Class II molar relationship bilaterally. There was also some mild lower incisor crowding. The panoramic radiograph showed the presence of all permanent teeth, with no significant abnormalities. Root development appeared complete. I have suggested the following treatment options: Comprehensive orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Invisalign treatment. I have recommended comprehensive orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances to address the crowding and improve the overall alignment and occlusion. Thank you for your continued support. Warm regards, Dr. Sarah Jones South Coast Orthodontics
