When beginning orthodontic treatment, it’s essential to get the correct diagnosis. Expansion can have a profound effect on the airway, smile aesthetics and on correcting crowding without the need for extractions! Glass Orthodontics uses the most advanced techniques to accomplish true skeletal expansion, and can even do this in adult patients (with no pain)! Our “Before and Afters” speak volumes.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Class III crossbite
Treatment: We were able to correct her crossbite without surgery using traditional braces.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Class II skeletal pattern and anterior open bite
Treatment: Traditional braces corrected her bite, without the need of extractions or surgery.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Phase I treatment with anterior crossbite and narrow jaw which could lead to crowding
Treatment: In this early treatment case we used upper and lower expanders to correct an anterior crossbite and widen her narrow upper jaw. This will allow room for her adult teeth to grow in without being overcrowded.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Impacted canines and anterior crossbite
Treatment: We used traditional braces with expansions to correct the anterior crossbite and create room for the impacted canines.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Severe upper crowding and narrow upper jaw
Treatment: This patient was treated with SARPE (surgical assisted rapid palate expansion) to create room in the jaw. The patient also wore traditional braces to straighten out the teeth.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Anterior open bite with narrow upper jaw
Treatment: This patient was treated with Traditional braces and MSE expander which created room in her upper jaw
CASE RESULTS
Case: Narrow upper jaw and crowding. Patient also reported difficulties with breathing through the nose.
Treatment: This patient was treated with a TAD expander and traditional braces. At the end of her treatment, reported improvements in nasal breathing
CASE RESULTS
Case: Severe upper crowding and narrow upper jaw
Treatment: Traditional braces and TADS expander helped to create room in the jaw and correct the crowded teeth
*Patient is still in current treatment projected to be finished soon!
CASE RESULTS
Case: Crossbite, narrow upper jaw, overbite, blocked out canines
Treatment: We treated this patient without the need of extractions and used expansion to widen the upper jaw, which corrected the overbite, crossbite and allowed room for her canines to grow in properly.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Deep bite, blocked out canines
Treatment: 18 Month Expansion fixed his deep bite and allowed room for his canines to grow in.
CASE RESULTS
Case: Patient was experiencing jaw pain, her midline was off-center and her laterals were undersized which caused excessive spacing between the teeth.
Treatment: Traditional braces corrected her bite and midlines. The properly aligned bite provided stability which helps to prevent jaw pain.
