A story of confidence, cosmetic artistry, and dental care.
From New Jersey to Barranquilla, Jasmine flew with one purpose: to transform her smile in expert hands.
As a professional makeup artist and public figure in the world of entertainment, her personal image isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every detail matters, and her smile was no exception. This is the story of how we restored her expression with ceramic veneers and a soft aesthetic touch.
A complex dental history, and the story behind the scar
When Jasmine first arrived at Sonrisa Italiana, her dental background was anything but simple. A subtle scar on her chin told part of the story: she had previously undergone orthognathic surgery, a complex procedure designed to reposition the jawbones when there’s a significant discrepancy between the upper and lower jaws.
Understanding her diagnosis: Skeletal Class III & Posterior Crossbite
Jasmine had a skeletal class III malocclusion, which means her lower jaw was positioned more forward than her upper jaw. This condition can impact not only the facial profile but also functions like chewing, speech, and in some cases, even breathing.
She also presented a posterior crossbite, meaning her upper back teeth (molars and premolars) were positioned inside the lower teeth instead of outside—as expected in a healthy bite. This can create muscular imbalance, uneven tooth wear, and functional asymmetries. Additionally, her midline was off, with the upper teeth not aligned to the lower arch or facial center.
When orthodontics and surgery are not enough
Even after braces and jaw surgery, Jasmine’s smile still didn’t reflect the harmony she envisioned. And this is more common than you might think: sometimes, functional correction alone isn’t enough to achieve true aesthetic balance.
That’s where multidisciplinary aesthetic dentistry steps in. When orthodontists, oral rehabilitators, and facial aesthetic experts collaborate, the result becomes truly holistic.
A treatment plan with both function and beauty in mind: custom ceramic veneers.
Her case was led by Dr. Daniel Zabaleta, oral rehabilitator, who created a tailored plan to restore proportion, function, and a natural aesthetic—designed to match her facial structure and personality.
The treatment included:
- Vertical dimension increase: By creating more space between the dental arches, we enhanced proportions and improved functionality, especially in the lower front teeth.
- Posterior composite tabletops: A restorative technique used to rebuild the surface of worn-down teeth, stabilizing the bite—particularly effective in cases of collapsed occlusion or dental wear.
- 10 lithium disilicate veneers in the upper anterior zone and 10 ceramic veneers in the lower anterior zone: Digitally designed and crafted to align the dental midline, enhance tooth proportions, and bring luminosity and softness back to her smile.
This personalized approach did more than correct functional concerns—it elevated Jasmine’s facial expression and overall presence.
A smile that reflects confidence
The result? A smile that’s balanced, expressive, and absolutely natural.
While Jasmine didn’t cry tears of joy (let’s not exaggerate), her satisfaction was evident. Her posture, facial expression, and confidence shifted. She finally felt comfortable and proud when smiling. The ceramic veneers were carefully designed to match her natural features.
As part of her post-treatment care, she received a protective night guard and a myorelaxant splint, since signs of eccentric bruxism (involuntary grinding) were also observed—an essential step to protect the longevity of the treatment.
A finishing touch of facial harmony
To complete her transformation, Jasmine underwent a facial harmonization procedure with Dr. Laura Bula, our specialist in facial and dental aesthetics. She received botox injections in the upper part of the face, the front to soften expression lines and open the gaze—complementing her new smile with elegance and freshness.
