Nadya came to our office wanting to improve her crowded and crooked teeth—but her case involved much more than simple alignment.
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Peterson diagnosed:
• Impacted upper canines and blocked out lower canine
• Moderate upper & lower crowding
• Deep bite
• Retroclined upper incisors
• Class I malocclusion
To create her beautiful , treatment included:
🛠️ Pitts21 Pro self-ligating braces
🛠️ Broad archwires
🛠️ Bite bumps to open the bite
🛠️ Exposure and alignment of the impacted canines

Instead of needing a separate surgical procedure with an oral surgeon or periodontist, Dr. Peterson was able to use his in-office laser to expose the teeth and bond the brackets himself.
Sometimes treatment plans evolve during treatment—and in this case, it saved Nadya from a much more invasive procedure. 🙌
💫 The result:
A broad, healthy, beautifully aligned smile where you’d never know she once had TWO impacted canines.
She now has all the hallmarks of a . ✨
