Keith K. — Crowding Corrected with Clear Aligners

Keith was frustrated by lower crowding that made cleaning difficult and affected his confidence. With clear aligners, we straightened his teeth, broadened his smile, corrected his deep overbite, and improved long-term oral hygiene access while protecting his gum and bone health.

Doug H. — Surgical-Orthodontic Treatment

Doug initially sought orthodontic treatment to improve his smile, but after alignment, his bite still felt off. By working closely with our jaw surgeon, we addressed the underlying skeletal concerns to achieve a stable, functional, and esthetic result.

Sara G. — Braces & Extractions for Crowding and Protrusion

Sara was unhappy with her smile due to crowding and dental protrusion. With braces, removal of four teeth, and exceptional rubber band wear, her smile was beautifully corrected—and she continues to maintain her result as a dedicated retainer patient.

Deven B. — Deep Overbite and Cosmetic Correction

Deven's deep overbite caused him to bite the roof of his mouth and limited his smile esthetics. With braces, we corrected his bite and alignment, and by collaborating with his general dentist to restore a narrow tooth, we achieved ideal symmetry and a balanced final result.

Marlee W. — Two-Phase Treatment to Avoid Extractions

Marlee began treatment because her permanent teeth did not have enough room to erupt properly. In Phase 1 treatment, we used an upper expander and braces to create space and avoid extractions. In Phase 2, we corrected her overbite, midline discrepancy, and remaining crowding.
