Buckle up for this one!🤭 This smile transformation shows the power of interdisciplinary care. (Multiple dental specialists)

This patient was referred to us by her dentist, Dr. Darren Brower from due to a jaw and bite discrepancy.

She presented with the following issues:
🔵Class III mandibular prognathism (strong lower jaw) and maxillary retrognathism (set back upper jaw)
🔵Underbite (anterior crossbite)
🔵Misaligned anterior teeth
🔵Narrow arches and posterior crossbite
🔵Missing lower incisor

Due to the severity of her bite discrepancy (even with a missing tooth on the bottom) - Dr. Peterson determined that utilizing a maxillofacial oral surgeon would be most beneficial to get the results that she was looking for.

Before surgery we utilized
⚪️Pitts 21 Pro self ligating braces
⚪️Elastics
⚪️SAP bracket positioning

When she was prepped for surgery she went to see Dr. Bradley Porter at where they performed a 2 jaw surgery to position the jaws into the proper position.

Post-surgery we finished her orthodontic treatment by fine tuning the bite with elastics and detailing her wire.

She finished with all the characteristics of a beautiful Peterson Smile, an ideal bite, and a much improved facial profile. We couldn’t be more excited for her and her transformation! 🤩🤩

💙This patient first came to see us for a consultation to evaluate if braces were needed, and still had multiple baby teeth present.

Dr. Peterson’s philosophy of treatment is to perform it at the ideal time to increase the efficiency and improve the outcome of the case.

Initially this patient wasn’t ready for treatment so we patiently waited until the time was ideal for treatment!

When the time was right, Dr. Peterson determined that braces and elastics were the best way to correct the following:

🦷- Moderate Crowding
🦷- Class II bite
🦷- Moderate deep bite
🦷- Narrow arches

He utilized the Pitts 21 Self Ligating braces bonded in the SAP position, with elastics and some IPR to create a beautiful, aesthetic smile. Great elastic wear lead to an ideal Class I bite. Due to the opportune timing of treatment this ideal result was accomplished in under 24 months!!🎆
