Before and After Treatment

Frontal Intraoral

Openbite: Front teeth don't touch

Patients exhibit an open bite in the anterior(front) teeth and a crossbite in the posterior(back) teeth. Patient did not want orthognathic surgery to correct bite so she was treated by expanding the upper arch and removing two lower bicuspids.

Underbite: Lower front teeth in front of upper teeth

Very large underbite. Patient was missing two upper teeth. Lower teeth were moved back under uppers. Patient did not have surgery but did have two lower teeth removed to allow retraction of lower anterior teeth.

Crowding of teeth

Patient had crowding and was treated to a nice full smile without removing any teeth. 

Mishaped teeth and overcrowding

Patient had fractured front tooth and other front tooth 50% too wide.  Teeth were recontoured and crowding corrected without any teeth extracted.
