Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Orthodontic Treatment
German term or phrase: kompensatorisch
"Im weiteren Verlauf der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung erfolgte eine Rückstellung der Oberkieferfrontzähne, da sie ***kompensatorisch*** zu weit anterior standen. Die Differenz der Zahnstellung aus der Planung zu der sich einstellenden Situation, besonders im zweiten Quadranten bewirkte, dass das Implantat Regio 22 nicht mehr im Zahnbogen, sondern zu weit vestibulär stand. Dies führte mit dazu, dass sich die Gingiva durch die Spannung am temporären Aufbau zurückzog (Abb. 1). In der Abbildung 2 ist die fehlerhafte Stellung von inzisal zu erkennen."

Back to my text about covering recessions on implants. I'm not quite sure of the best way to translate "kompensatorisch" here. TIA for your help.

compensatory
Explanation:
'...front teeth which had undergone/suffered a compensatory movement too far forwards'

does this sound like English?

or perhaps simply 'which had been pushed too far forwards', if that's accurate here?

The very helpful peer grade has clinched four points for you, but in any case, this suggestion seemed more plausible than the other, although I thank both of you very much for your contributions to what was quite a tricky problem. Appreciate everyone's help.

due to compensation


Explanation:
Not entirely sure if 'compensation' can be used with teeth - otherwise you may have to say something like 'as the teeth were too far back because they had been compensating'
