High Tides and Good Vibes :)

04/16/2026

Dr Trev loves to tinker, and he will always give every new idea a fair shake. Check out the results from a compliant High Tide patient using the Invisalign Palate expander 🤙

The Invisalign palate expander has become a useful tool in the High Tide armamentarium. 💪🏼

Negatives:
😳it’s removable (dependent on young patient and their compliance)
😬more dental molar tipping observed (albeit a small sample size) than a traditional fixed expander

Positives:
🤙 it’s removable! (More flexibility to maintain diet)
👍 better OH values due to ease of flossing etc
👏 better comfort for tongue
👍 adequate palate expansion achieved!

This patient is transitioning to aligners as his front teeth grow in fatser (as now there is more room for teeth to erupt now!), can’t wait to show his final phase one results! (And we are only 6 month in so far!)

Excited to announce the HIGH TIDE SURF CLUB 🏄 🏄‍♀️

Efficient orthodontic treatment is dependent on teamwork between the doctor and patient. So, we want to reward our patients for keeping up with their oral hygiene, maintaining compliance with rubber bands, and minimizing broken brackets/appliances. Whatever we can do to help our dental partners out 💪🏼

Because shorter treatment times can reduce risk of issues with teeth (cavities, root shortening, etc). Plus, earning prizes like the Owala sippy cups, Starbucks gift cards, and others is the BEST

Don’t worry, The Club is open to current patients too!

Thanks as always to Ashley D. Studio for the cutest designs!

Dr Trev might have been out of office for Spring Break, but doesn’t mean he’s wasn’t “working” 😂

Lucy and Mackenzie (both patients) requested a color change for their braces during vacation so Dr Trev was happy to set up shop on the beach 🏖️

Lucy is about to finish phase 1 and Mackenzie just started her LightForce custom braces journey! LightForce | 3D Printed Braces

Excited to announce a special project we have been diligently working on: the HIGH TIDE MOBILE CLINIC! 🦷 🚙

We are currently able to provide mobile orthodontic services for the greater Charleston region (within a 100 mile radius of our current office location).

Simply jump in the van, lay back and relax as Dr Trev changes your wires, delivers your appliance, or files down your teeth from the comfort of your own driveway!

Call today to schedule your free roadside consultation today!

UPDATE: due to rising gas prices, we will be selling our mobile unit van. 😔 Comes fully loaded with dental chair unit, preloaded Spotify playlists, and a ton of FREE CANDY.

(Had to squeeze a last minute April Fools post in there🤪)

For real though, not a terrible idea.. 🤔

The parents of this patient came to High Tide after being told that their twin sons would both need adult tooth extractions to fix their crowding/bite/smile.

Although removing four adult teeth to create space for severe crowding is a reasonable (and common) treatment option, I maintain the belief that virtually ANY case can be treated as a NON-EXTRACTION case if treated at the right time (with predictable skeletal growth remaining).

I do foresee a future where we look back at our profession and ask the question: “why in the world were we extracting adult teeth and pretending like it was totally OK?”

(Hint: please bring your kids in for consults while they are young)

I will start with showing the case of one of the twin boys (spoiler: both twins were treated without removing adult teeth even though they both exhibited SEVERE crowding).

Nonextraction options, if planned well, usually lead to :

✅ Improved facial esthetics (improves lip fullness)
✅ Reduced cost and potential discomfort of adult tooth extraction procedure
✅ Fuller smile esthetics (extracting teeth can lead to narrow adult smile and tongue space constriction)

Check out his smile adventure! 🤙

If you were ever told that your smile or bite is too difficult to fix with clear aligners (like Invisalign), come talk to me about it 😉

Fun multidisciplinary case showing that even complex adult treatment can be handled with clear aligners alone. (Also the incredible effort on the patient’s part).

No surgery, no appliances, no hybrid braces.

Just needed a proper diagnosis, a good handle on aligner mechanics, and crossed fingers 🤞 . Molar uprighting is difficult even while using braces and wires!!

Super pumped for Chris to grind it out for a quick 21 month treatment. Now, he is ready for his implant to replace the baby tooth that was submerged/stuck between the tilted adult teeth.


And for the ortho nerds: intrusion of the posterior molars during distalization allowed his open bite tendency to close while allowing the mandible to autorotate to a more forward position 💪🏼

Our (3 year old) 3D printer kicked the bucket last week. 😑 Which brought our assembly of retainers and in-house aligners to a screeching halt. Fun times as a business owner 😅

As a small business, it’s never fun to get blindsided by big expenses. But, the show must go on.. and sometimes you find a silver lining.

Picture 2: (nerd alert) updating from SprintRay 95S to the Pro2 and you can see that the updated 3D printed models create cleaner looking aligners! Woo hoo! Dr Trev creates his own aligners for mild-moderate cases and we are super excited for an even fresher look for our patients! (The current ones already looked better than Invisalign 🤫)

So, we are all grins again.

Special thanks to our Park Bend neighbor for helping us out in a pinch!

📍50k miles on my Jeep
📍40+ nights in a hotel alone (away from my wife and two young children)
📍2 hour drive each way (sometimes twice/week)

A LONG CHAPTER ENDS. So grateful for my Sumter crew. While starting a practice from scratch, having a part time associateship is a normal rite of passage for an orthodontist. My opportunity ended up being quite far away!

While some days/nights were VERY hard (leaving my newborn boy) and lonely, they also gave me the chance to recollect, catch up on admin work, and most importantly…help pay the bills!

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity, because without it, High Tide would have been almost impossible to build. These are the behind-the-scenes that usually get left out of the normal, shiny instagram posts.

I will miss hearing “Welcome ‘Home’!” upon entering the , my solo meals at .on.main, and the all sweet ladies at .

I am looking forward to spending 💎 MORE TIME AT HIGH TIDE ORTHO 🥳

Excited for what’s ahead,
