Smile Transformation Stories

Devan

Devan, a college student from Massachusetts, was referred to us by his mom — a loyal cosmetic and orthodontic patient at our Wellesley clinic. After braces, his upper front teeth still looked too small, leaving spaces that bonding failed to correct and often chipped. He was ready for a natural, long-term solution that would finally give him the confidence to smile.

Devan Smile Transformation

Devan’s transformation began with a personal referral: his mother, a long-time patient and proud smile makeover success story, knew firsthand the level of artistry and care at our Wellesley practice.

After orthodontics, Devan was left with proportionally small incisors and visible spaces that bonding couldn’t mask. The bonding quickly chipped, its color didn’t match, and the shape lacked harmony, leaving him insecure about smiling.

At our Smile Design Clinic — the first certified Digital Smile Design Clinic in the U.S. — we created a precision-driven plan to restore balance and confidence.

We began with a digital facial analysis and smile design mock-up, then completed an Airflow hygiene session and professional whitening to set a healthy, bright foundation.

Subtle laser gum recontouring added symmetry, followed by six minimally invasive porcelain veneers (canine to canine), meticulously hand-layered by our in-house Master Ceramist to restore natural size, close spaces, and achieve long-term harmony.

His treatment was finalized with custom clear retainers and digital wellness monitoring to protect results.

Today, Devan speaks, laughs, and smiles with confidence — and his mom is thrilled to see her son step into adulthood with a smile built to last.
