I got to know Dr. Enrico Riva after a long and fruitless search for the best gnathologist in Milan; I had read an article written by him that attracted my attention, specialized in dentistry and "orthodontics", a branch that I did not know but that seemed to be my case; I state that after years of pains and failed attempts I was not particularly optimistic, but I did not give up and I continued my research, if there was a solution I had to find it.
I made an appointment with him at the Motta Rossi studio and I was more than satisfied, in my life the most attentive, detailed view, a thorough clinical evaluation through a series of checks that had never been done to me. The doctor explained everything to me, step by step, in a clear and detailed way.
The visit lasted a long time, so much so that I offered to recognize two of them, but did not accept saying that such a thorough visit is the practice to do a good job.
Now, after years, I was ready for invasive interventions, he advised them against me and proposed some conservative steps. On that occasion he did not tell me about facets, which in the past was proposed as a solution and that I have always discarded in order not to reduce the enamel of the upper arch teeth whose reconstructions regularly split with the slippage of the lower incisors . He came to the conclusion that with my current frame and grinding I would blow them up. Dr. Riva proposes to work to restore the correct function of the jaw and to ensure that my closure does not cause further traumas to the teeth, and to hypertrophic masseters and above all to the excessively stressed articulation.
I have not started the course yet, but I'm counting the days to the next appointment to determine what to start with.
