This patient’s overbite was SO severe, he couldn’t close his lips over his teeth 😦. This sort of dental flaring is commonly seen with prolonged thumb sucking habits. With braces and extraction treatment, we were able to achieve the following goals:

✅ Reduced front tooth flaring
✅ Reduced lip strain
✅Reduced risk of dental trauma
✅ Improved facial profile
✅Improved smile esthetics
✅Teeth kept within their bony housing!!

✨Second molar impaction appreciation post 🤓✨A patient in her teens presented to us with multiple impactions of her canines and second molars. While the canines erupted on their own as we made space for them with braces, the second molars were very angulated with the third molars present and so a referral was made to our local oral surgeon. Completed in one appointment, the oral surgeon extracted the third molars and uprighted the second molars (beautiful work!👏🏼). We expect the teeth to remain vital (high success reported in the literature) and the bony defects to fill in with bone over time with good oral hygiene. After the procedure, we saw the patient back to bond brackets on the molars now that the crowns were exposed to continue their alignment. Stay tuned for her final result!

When ortho and restorative dentistry unite 🙌🏼 This patient came to us wanting to close the gaps between his front teeth. With undersized upper lateral incisors, he was informed that they would need to be built to the right proportions by his dentist for us to be able to close all of the space. With braces, we closed the front gap and allocated space for his dentist to place composite buildups. Now all that remains is to close the remaining space. Stay tuned for the final result!

Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist starting at the age of 7? As this is the age where many permanent teeth are starting to erupt, an examination along with a panoramic xray can help to catch problems with tooth eruption early on, such as those erupting off course (which could potentially resorb the roots of neighboring teeth and result in tooth loss). Preventative treatments may be recommended to help guide these teeth into place or create space where it is needed. Certain treatments such as upper jaw expansion and face mask therapy (for crossbites) are also more effective at an early age when bone sutures have not yet fused and the upper jaw can still be made wider and postured forward. If no problems are detected and treatment is not recommended, patients will be enrolled in our supervisory program for monitoring every 6 months-1 year. If you have questions or are unsure if your child has any orthodontic problems, call our office today or visit our website to schedule a free consultation with one of our doctors!
