Incisal plane and arch width

Published by Brian Homann DDS

In this section, I have put together a short list of thoughts regarding issues with incisal plane and arch width discrepancies.

  • Use of inter-pupillary line helps to examine incisal plane and cant.
  • Many incisal plane problems will require orthodontic treatment.
  • When occlusal wear is part of the problem the treatment often becomes more complicated.
  • When there is tooth wear, it is not simply leveling the teeth, as you can cause a variety of problems, including oddly shaped teeth. In these cases, both orthodontic treatment and restorative treatment is often required for best results.
  • Constricted buccal spaces can sometimes be treated with a restorative and cosmetic approach, but often has to be treated with orthodontic care
  • Orthodontic care is the treatment of choice (maxillary arch expansion) if tooth position is the problem. Restorative care is often appropriate when teeth are inclined towards the midline.

Most caring dental staff I’ve ever encountered. Every experience has been extremely professional, from just calling to ask a question to cleanings for my whole family and beyond.

Dr. Homann goes out of his way to make sure you understand each step of the process and are comfortable the whole way. Each member of their team genuinely cares about their patients, and knowing I will have the best care every time I walk in the door makes going to the dentist a whole lot easier. Thank you to all the kind and wonderful staff, you make all the difference.

Dr. Homan is the best dentist I've ever been to. Most of my co-workers go to Dr. Homan and that's how I heard about him.

I needed a lot of work on my teeth and I'm so glad I found such a great dentist. He explains everything to you and also is very upfront on all posibiltys that's can happen to the tooth he works on and also explains what you can expect after the dental work. He's also very friendly and everyone at the office makes you feel comfortable. Karen and Sandra in the front office are wonderful as well. They also have wonderful dental hygienist. My insurance is not in network with Dr. Homan but it's well worth the extra money to still go to the best!

Dr. Homann's practice is very clean and up to date. His practice also has televisions to watch when you are getting your teeth cleaned or any other work done which is awesome!

The chairs are very comfortable and the staff is very polite. Dr. Homann is also a very knowledgeable dentist with the ability to make every patient feel calm and comfortable no matter what the situation. He also has done volunteer work for the homeless donating his time and resources to help the less fortunate, if that doesn't let you know what kind of practice this is I don't know what will. I will definitely be coming back here again!
