- Crowding Resolved Without Extractions
- Functional Treatment to Correct an Overbite
1. Early Treatment (Phase I)
Before
10 months later
This 10-year-old was concerned about her crowded teeth. She had Phase I treatment for 10 months using a palatal expander and limited braces. The majority of patients who can benefit from early treatment will also benefit from a second phase of treatment once all the adult teeth come in.
2. Adolescent Treatment
Before 
10 months later
This 12-year-old had an "under-bite" (bottom teeth in front of the upper teeth) caused by insufficient growth of the upper jaw. She required a reverse pull headgear, palatal expansion and braces to correct her jaw and teeth position. Upon graduation from High School she received "The Best Smile Award".
3. Adult Treatment
Before
18 months later
This patient had excess space due to missing upper premolars. The spaces were closed, and 2 implants were utilized to replace the missing teeth. We routinely coordinate your orthodontic treatment with your dentist and other dental specialists.
4. Early Treatment with No Further Treatment Required
Age 9
After first phase of treatment
Age 13 – no further treatment needed
This patient began treatment at age 9 with a first phase of treatment that lasted 9 months and required a palatal expander and braces on the upper 4 front teeth. At age 13, she was reevaluated and did not require any further treatment. About 20% of the patients who have early treatment do not require a second phase.
5. Palatal Expansion and Overbite Correction
Before
After
This 12-year-old had a significant overbite and narrow upper jaw resulting in prominent upper front teeth. She was treated with a palatal expander to improve the width of her upper jaw and a functional appliance and braces to improve her overbite.
6. Impacted Canines
Before 
After
This 13 year old was not sure if he needed treatment. The panoramic X-Ray revealed a severely impacted upper left canine. Impacted teeth are common and it is important to begin treatment before age 14 because the success rate of bringing in the impacted tooth decreases after age 14. The above video shows how the tooth was uncovered and a chain attached to the canine and brought into the mouth.
7. Adult Treatment
Before
After
This 24-year-old patient “always wanted braces” to correct her crowding. Due to the severity of her crowding, 4 teeth were removed. She also had her teeth whitened to improve the discoloration of her teeth.
8. Crowding Resolved Without Extractions
Before
25 months later
22 months later – RPE + Braces
This 14-year-old had a crossbite on one side. It is interesting to note that the non-cross bite side had a good bite. A palatal expander and braces were utilized to improve the function and aesthetics of his teeth.
9. Functional Treatment to Correct an Overbite
Before
25 months later
22 months later – Twin Block + Braces
This 13-year-old had an overbite caused by an underdeveloped lower jaw. She required a functional appliance to improve the growth of her lower jaw and braces to improve the alignment of her teeth.
