BEFORE & AFTER
TREATMENT PHOTOS
Early Treatment Examples
Example 1 This early treatment included an expander to create space for permanent teeth
Example 2 Early treatment included an expander to create space for permanent teeth
Example 3 Early treatment included an expander to correct a posterior crossbite (top teeth biting inside the bottom teeth) causing a midline shift (check the arrows). This causes a shift of the lower jaw and chin with the potential for permanent asymmetric growth if not corrected.
Comprehensive Treatment Examples
Example 1 This comprehensive treatment including an expander and braces to create space for permanent teeth, correct anterior crossbite, and alignment
Example 2 Our comprehensive treatment using braces to correct the severe overbite (vertical overlap of the front teeth) will allow the teeth to function properly and improve their health for many years to come!
Example 3 Our comprehensive treatment using braces and elastics (rubber bands) corrected the excessive overjet, improved lip competence so the patient can comfortably close his lips without strain, and created a confident, beautiful smile!
Example 4 This adult patient came to us after wanting straighter teeth for many years. Through comprehensive treatment with adult braces, we broadened her smile and aligned her teeth, giving her the confident smile she has always wanted!
Orthognathic Jaw Surgery Examples
Orthognathic jaw surgery is a corrective procedure used to reposition the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to improve how the jaws fit together and create better facial balance. It can help fix severe bite problems, jaw misalignment, chewing or speaking difficulties, and certain breathing or facial asymmetry concerns.
Example 1 This patient came to us concerned about her retrognathic profile and excessive overbite. To properly address these concerns, jaw surgery was incorporated into her treatment plan. By surgically repositioning the lower jaw, we were able to correct the overjet, improve facial balance, and create a beautiful, confident smile.
Example 2 This patient had always struggled to bite into foods like pizza because of his underbite. Orthodontic treatment combined with surgical expansion and maxillary (upper jaw) advancement corrected his bite, improved function, and enhanced facial balance. What an amazing transformation!
Example 3 This patient was concerned about her prognathic, or prominent, lower jaw. Jaw surgery including maxillary (upper jaw) advancement helped create proper facial balance while also providing a beautiful, functional smile!
Example 4 This patient was referred to us due to concerns related to sleep apnea. A retrognathic maxilla can impact the airway and contribute to snoring and other obstructive sleep apnea complications. Orthodontic treatment in conjunction with surgical expansion and maxillary (upper jaw) advancement helped open the airway, reduce these complications, and create a healthy, beautiful smile!
