gingival hyperplasia, fluorosis, and enamel damage following removal of ceramic brackets. (b and c) Extra- and
intraoral views following bleaching and gingivectomy around the right canine. (d and e) Microabrasion was performed with Opalustre (Ultradent) under rubber dam until most of the white flakes disappeared. (f to h) Embrasures between the central incisors and canines, along with the distal corner of the right central incisor, were reshaped with composite. Premolars were also elongated. (i and j) Posttreatment views showing the restorative
and esthetic compromise justified by the patients age (17 years). Microabrasion facilitated the restorative phase
and allowed a more esthetic and smooth transition with natural tooth structure. Further procedures may be necessary to deal with the excess space on the left side.
