Quick update to post pic of my teeth post crown lengthening. I have completed my second round of the Bioliner and I will be starting the final Plus aligner on 3/10 after my gums I've sufficiently healed. I'll probably wear that for two weeks
and then Ill be DONE!!!! :D

As for the crown lengthening, it was a really simple procedure and the recovery was amazingly easy and painless. The worst part was the numbing actually. The results were wonderful. The difference between this pic and how my teeth were when I started is remarkable. I plan on posting a video here soon to better explain the treatment and how the aligners look/work. If anyone has any additional questions about the crown lengthening procedure, feel free to send me a msg!! :)

Great general dentist. Orthodontic treatment with the Bioliner started off very rocky, but overall I am ok with his service.

I can't see a very big difference with the gums, but the difference with the straightening is very obvious, and its entire effect on your bite.  You had a cross-bite before that's completely gone!  Have you met anyone else using bioliners yet?  I still haven't seen any other mention here on RealSelf.

That's a lot of movement very fast!  Has your doctor mentioned a cross-bite there on your right?  Or is that just an artifact of the picture?  Has he said what he's trying to accomplish with the refinement?  

Thanks so much for updating us!

I am amazed by the movement! I was so skeptical in the beginning. And there was no pai!!! :) For the refinements, my dentist said he would like the right lateral incisor to complete its outward rotation and the left lateral incisor to rotate slightly inward. I'm having the crown lengthening prior to the next set of aligners so that the aligners have more tooth to grab onto according to my dentist.

How is the crown lengthening done?  Are you just removing gums or bonding or something else I've never heard of?  Happy New Year, by the way :D

TwoPlusOne, Crown lengthening is a cosmetic procedure where the gums are reshaped to show more teeth and/or make the shape of the teeth more aesthetically pleasing. :)

So I got my Plus aligner about 4 weeks ago. Much like the Bioliner, the Plus really didnt fit at all at first. Ut gradually my teeth began to shift and it fits very nicely now. I am really happy with the straightening I have a achieved with the Plus aligner, but I still think there could be a bit more movement on my lateral incisors. I had what was supposed to be my final checkup last week and th doc said we would do one more set of both aligners to accomplish that movement... I guess this is similar to Invisalign refinements.

I also scheduled my appointment for cosmetic crown lengthening for 1/9. Im really excited for this procedure - it is something I have wanted to do for such a long time! I added a few more pics, one of my teeth before I started this whole process and one most recent one after the first round of Bioliners. Ill post an additional update once I have completed the crown lengthening and Bioliner.
