Adult Treatment Examples

Clear Aligner/ Invisalign Treatment Examples

Example 1

It is never too late to achieve the smile you have always wanted! This adult patient came to us looking to straighten her teeth and brighten her smile with a discreet treatment option. Using custom clear aligners, we were able to completely transform her smile and alignment in just under one year.

Example 2

While our team always strives to avoid extracting teeth whenever possible, strategic extractions are sometimes necessary to achieve the best health and aesthetic outcomes. For this adult patient, removing just one lower tooth allowed us to fully resolve severe crowding while strictly maintaining healthy gum tissues and proper bite relationships. The final result is a beautifully straight, stable, and healthy smile.

Phase I/Early Treatment

Example 1

Using a combination of a palatal expander and a facemask, we successfully corrected this young patient's underbite by guiding the upper jaw forward. Addressing these growth discrepancies early is critical, as it harmonizes facial development and prevents the need for more invasive surgical corrections in the future. We love catching these issues early to set the foundation for a lifelong, healthy smile!

Example 4

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.

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!

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 Previous Orthodontic Limitations
After previous orthodontic treatment elsewhere was unable to fully correct this patient's severe bite discrepancy, he came to us looking for a comprehensive solution. By pairing advanced orthodontics with orthognathic jaw surgery, we were able to completely reposition the teeth, bite, and smile. The result is a truly life-changing and life-long transformation that completely renewed his confidence.

Example 2 Midface Deficiency & Lower Alignment
This complex case required a collaborative approach to correct a midface deficiency and resolve severe crowding in the lower teeth. Through a precise combination of orthodontics and orthognathic jaw surgery, we were able to achieve ideal dental alignment and improve overall facial balance. This comprehensive care delivered a beautiful, functional bite and a radiant new smile.

Example 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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!
