Real case photographs can help you understand a treatment and express preferences. They also have boundaries: they show concrete moments and they do not explain the whole process by themselves. To look at them with criterion allows better questions to be asked during an valuation.
What information's missing from an image
A photo doesn't necessarily show the diagnosis, the tests, the intermediate phases or the time passed. Nor does it allow you to get to know all subsequent care. Two smiles that seem similar may require different treatments.
When comparing, it was useful to know what procedure had been performed and what aims that patient had. The image gain usefulness when accompanied by context, rather than becoming a general promise.
Founding, light and position
The light and place of lips and heads can change perception. A complete frame and the possibility to expand help to observe details. That doesn't mean that a photo substitutes for clinical evaluation.
No need to look for millimetric differences on a screen to decide a treatment. It's more useful to figure out what's interested and ask if it's related to your own anatomy and dental health.
Individual results
Biological response, starting point and collaboration have an impact on evolution. A favourable result in another person does not guarantee an identical result. That limitation should be present even if the images are true and well documented.
Possible incidents and maintenance are also useful. A final appearance by itself does not report what revisions a person needs or how long a restoration can be expected.
Using cases at the consultation
The Ortoperio gallery, Murcia, allows an extension of the preserved cases at the clinic. You can use it to prepare questions about implants, orthodontics, gums or aesthetics. The next step is to study your case and explain what options make sense to you.
If an editorial image appears next to a guide, its function is to illustrate the topic. It should not be confused with a clinical photo of a result before and after.
