Here are a few samples of cases treated in the past. It's an honor to have such exceptional patients and their cooperation to achieve the best results possible.

BEFORE

AFTER

Phase: Comprehensive Orthodontics
Diagnosis: Underbite. Missing upper right first premolar. Spaces on the upper arch. Upper front teeth deviate to one side severely. Lower lip and teeth are protrusive.
Treatment: Extract remaining first premolars and close all spaces to correct underbite and reduce lower teeth and lip protrusion.

BEFORE

AFTER

Phase: Comprehensive Orthodontics
Diagnosis: Underbite dental and skeletal relationship. Lower midline deviates to the right. Concave facial profile.
Treatment: Correct the underbite with a hyrax expander and protraction headgear to guide upper jaw growth and impede lower jaw growth. Full braces will straighten teeth and  improve the facial profile.

BEFORE

AFTER

Phase: Comprehensive Orthodontics
Diagnosis: Underbite due to a retrusive upper jaw. Upper front teeth are in crossbite. Severe crowding on the upper arch.
Treatment: Expand the upper arch to allow more space to straighten the upper front teeth and move them forward, out of crossbite.

BEFORE

AFTER

Phase: Comprehensive Orthodontics
Diagnosis: Severe open bite in the front. Teeth are flared and lips are protrusive. Difficulty closing the lips.
Treatment: Extract first premolars to allow for space to move front teeth back, closing the open bite, and reducing the lip strain on closure.

BEFORE

AFTER

Phase: Comprehensive Orthodontics
Diagnosis: Deep overbite. Excessive overjet. Protrusive upper front teeth. Spacing on upper front teeth.
Treatment: Straighten all teeth, retract upper  front teeth to reduce the flaring and overbite, and close the upper front spaces.
