Patient's underbite was causing her jaw joint discomfort and excessive wear patterns on her teeth. After about 18 months of Invisalign® treatment, starting at age 32, she now finds smiling and chewing much easier.


Spacing of teeth

This patient was bothered by the spaces between his teeth. Invisalign® closed the spaces and gave him an ideal bite in 16 months. Special "fixed" retainers help keep the spaces closed.


Overjet - Protruding front teeth

At age ten, this patient had a big overjet with the top teeth protruding beyond the bottom. She had two phases of treatment. The first helped her jaws to grow more harmoniously and the second aligned her teeth and bite. At age 13, she was proudly displaying her new smile.


Phase-One

This patient's parents were concerned about both aesthetics and the health of the erupting permanent teeth when they brought him to the orthodontist at age eight. The lower front teeth were crowded and touching the palate, and the upper front teeth were extremely displaced from their normal positions. After 12 months of Phase-One treatment with an expander and partial braces, the patient's appearance and dental function were vastly improved.
