Phase 1 treatment included expander on the top with a tongue crib + brackets on the 4 incisors. No treatment in the lower arch.

The red marks on the roof of the mouth are from the indent of the expander sitting there for months. It doesn't hurt even though it looks red and will go away in a few days.

This was a patient who only pursued phase 1 expansion + a 2x4 (aka ortho talk for alignment of the 4 front adult teeth) at this time. Because they were a little older than I traditionally like for phase 1 we didn't want them to burn out with extended treatment time while waiting for teeth to come in. So we did some expansion / a bit of alignment to help jump the anterior crossbite and got out - in about 8 months. Now we can just wait and watch the permanent teeth finishing coming in and lower jaw growth before assessing for final bite correction and tooth alignment. We didn't do treatment on the lower - expanding the upper allowed the lower teeth to naturally upright over time as well!

At the end of May we had our annual OrthoAngels study club weekend in Whistler. It's an awesome few days to connect with other female orthodontists in BC (and beyond). We get continuing education time, along with relaxation, great food and even better company. Of course no weekend is complete without a group TikTok dance too. 🤣

So thankful to for the sponsorship and awesome lectures.

Before and after time!

Thanks to all the moms out there running the kids to all their appointments, nagging them to brush their teeth, and picking up the thousands of elastics that have exploded all over their house! We appreciate you! 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

This patient rocked their elastics which helped pull the lower teeth back away from the uppers and gave us room to relieve the crowding and also to upright the lower incisors which had tipped back and were compensating to stay touching the upper front teeth.

This patient had previous orthodontic treatment with extractions as a teenager. Over time crowding occurred without retainers. This is a normal effect of aging - front teeth tend to crowd over time. But regular retainer wear can prevent this.

Retreatment and we re-aligned all the teeth :)
