In recent years, the percentage of adults seeking dental treatment has been on the rise. Among these patients, aesthetic demands and oral conditions complicate treatment. A multidisciplinary approach with a view to conducting more conservative treatments that avoid sacrificing healthy teeth is one of the goals for these patients. Using methods such as interproximal tooth wear is a preventative and therapeutic alternative that, when executed with care and knowledge, does not damage teeth or periodontal tissues, helps correct crowding, and improves tooth shape and black triangles. Furthermore, it provides more stable, functional and aesthetic results for patients.
Keywords: orthodontics, periodontium, crowding, wear.
