Melina
From a young age, Melina Taipi faced unique dental challenges. Born without lateral incisors and having smaller teeth, Melina endured six years of braces as a teenager and wore a plate to fill the gaps left by her missing teeth. Dr. Dee transformed her smile with Picasso Porcelain Veneers.
01Melina's smile journey included multiple treatments including braces.
Melina
Our beautiful patient Melina came to us after she had seen an orthodontist to open up her smile to create spacing as she was born with missing laterals. She had undergone braces for a few years before her teeth were finally ready for the next step. In the interim, she was wearing a plate in place of her missing teeth before looking for a more permanent solution.
Melina told us that she had felt self conscious of having missing teeth as she had gotten older and was aware that it had become more noticeable. Her smile makeover was completed with a combination of treatments.
