✨ TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY!! ✨

Congratulations to Raylee on finishing up a beautiful smile transformation!! She did such a great job and we couldn’t be more proud of her!

Raylee started treatment with a bilateral posterior crossbite, a complete anterior crossbite/underbite, significant dental crowding, and an open bite. Dr. Bates treated Raylee with a combination of braces, Invisalign, and jaw surgery to correct her bite and improve facial balance. Shout out to Dr. Peter Arvanitis with VCU Oral Surgery for the excellent surgical care and teamwork.

We have loved getting to work with Raylee over the past couple years and will miss her, but we are confident that she will use her beautiful new smile to brighten the lives of others she interacts with! Congratulations Raylee!
