This patient presented with proclined upper and lower incisors (AKA “flared teeth”) with increased overjet and dental crowding. Patients will often say they have a large overbite, when in fact they are referring to overjet; the space difference between the upper and lower front teeth in the horizontal dimension. In order to create room for ideal dental alignment in this case, 4 permanent posterior teeth were extracted. This also provided the necessary space to retract the fro

This patient initially presented with blocked out lateral incisors, dental crowding and a tapered maxillary arch form. Check out this patient’s improvement in arch width and dental alignment as they progressed through orthodontic treatment. The final photo shows straight teeth with a parabolic archform resulting in a beautiful broad smile! Of course, it is just as important to keep the teeth in their final position with a properly placed fixed retainer wire or removable retai
