How to Approach Space Distribution Cases for Peg Laterals and Bolton Discrepancy

When it comes to correcting space distribution between the teeth, there’s a lot you may need to keep in mind. Nevertheless, in cases of Bolton Discrepancy, things aren’t always that easy to define. And as such, being aware of this is highly important to inform your decision overall.
What is the Bolton Discrepancy?
First, let’s briefly summarize what the Bolton Discrepancy is. The Bolton Discrepancy occurs when there is an overall ratio of 91.3% + in relation to the mandibular teeth. This indicates that the mandibular teeth are outside the normal ratio range, indicating tooth size discrepancies. This is often a genetic condition and may run in families.
Creating a Treatment Plan for Space Distribution Cases with Invisalign
If you need to create space for your patient, it’s important to talk things through clearly at every stage with your patient. This helps reduce the chance of them changing their mind and wasting your time as a professional dentist.
Invisalign works seamlessly alongside other services, such as a virtual wax up. This helps provide seamless and reliable results every time.
But remember, the individual’s job is to determine the most appropriate type of space distribution overall. As such, this is important to recognize as part of any decision to mitigate the risks of starting a contract before it’s fully signed.
