Before & After

  • Case I

    • BEFORE

    In this case the patient had an increased protrusion and narrow upper and lower arches.  Dr. Daniels used a multi phase treatment with a functional appliance, a palatal expander and upper and lower braces for optimal results.

  • Case II

    • BEFORE

    • AFTER

    In this case the patient had a lot of crowding in the upper teeth as well as a severely deepbite.  Dr. Daniels used a bite plate and braces with elastics to correct the patient's smile. 

  • Case III

    • BEFORE

    • AFTER

    In this case the patient had a large open bite and moderate crowing in the upper and lower teeth.  Dr. Daniels used a bite plate, a palatal expander, and then braces and elastics to achieve a beautiful result.
  • Case IV

    • BEFORE

    • AFTER

    In this case the patient had a severe underbite.  Dr. Daniels used a comprehensive treatment with upper and lower braces and elastics for these excellent results.

  • Case V

    • BEFORE

    • AFTER

    In this case the patient had an increased protrusion, a deep bite, and severe crowding.  Dr. Daniels used a first phase of treatment to decreased the protrusion, overbite, and crowding.  A second phase of treatment will follow for detailing. 

Common Orthodontic Problems 

Orthodontics is the dental specialty that treats malocclusions (poor teeth/jaw alignment).  Malocclusions can contribute to uneven wear of your teeth that can result in pain when chewing.  Oftentimes, teeth are not aesthetically pleasing due to a malocclusion.  Teeth can also be very difficult to keep clean and maintain.  Below are some of the most common problems when it comes to teeth:


Crowding: crowding happens when teeth do not have enough room when they erupt; this can often be treated with a palatal expander and removal of teeth can be avoided.

Crowding Example

Spacing: spacing can occur when teeth are missing.

 Spacing Example


 

Protrusion: with a protrusion the upper teeth extend too far forward or the lower teeth do not extend far enough forward. 

Protrusion Example


 

Cross bite: with a cross bite the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth; this can cause teeth stratification or misaligned jaw growth. 

Crossbite Example

 

Underbite: with an underbite the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth; this either because the lower jaw extends forward or the upper jaw does not sit far enough forward.

Underbite Example


 

Openbite: in an openbite proper chewing is impeded; the upper and lower teeth do not overlap.

Openbite Example

 

Midlines: when midlines do not match between the upper and lower teeth this is usually due to back teeth not fitting together properly.  

Midline Example


Deep bite: the upper teeth extend out over the lower teeth in a deep bite.  Sometimes the lower teeth hit the roof of the mouth. The majority of the lower teeth are usuallly covered by the upper teeth.

Overbite Example
