🦷 Posterior Crossbite Correction

Upper jaw too narrow. Left untreated, this causes uneven jaw growth and worn teeth.

The fix? A palatal expander, gently widening the upper arch to improve the bite.

Simple intervention. Massive long-term impact. ✅

She may need some treatment in a year or so but let’s see what Mother Nature can do now crossbite has gone

Congratulations to this young man who has reduced his chance of jaw surgery by 70%.
He’s only 8 now so we’ll need to follow up for a few years but we are on a much better growth trajectory.

How lucky have we been with the weather this week! Here are some shots from Dr Tobin’s garden. Over the past 10 years he has been planting up his gardens and creating bush tracks full of natives including Kanuka, Cabbage trees, Ngaio, Pukatea, Pohutakawa, Manatu and Lacebarks! He also grows his own plants from seeds he collects from the ground and has successfully raised over 2,000 Harakeke, Karaka, Tawa, Kowhai, Puriri, Kanuka, Manuka and Kawakawa from seed. If you’re ever after seedling / planting advice during an appointment, Dr Tobin is your go to!!
