Invisalign treatment of crowding and narrow jaws

Charlie had crowding of her upper and lower teeth with a very narrow smile. He preferred Invisalign to improve his smile. The upper and lower jaws were slowly widened overtime – this gave Charlie a fuller smile that filled the corners of this mouth handmade enough room for the teeth to align nicely. Great result for Charlie!

Treatment of missing teeth with braces

Isabelle was naturally missing an upper left lateral incisor which resulted in the centre of the upper front teeth being off to the left. Implants were not an option for her so the upper right lateral incisor was extracted instead and the canines were moved forward to replace these teeth. Following removal of the braces, she was referred to her dentist to her dentist to help recontour her canine teeth for a fabulous finished result!

Treatment of crooked teeth and uneven gingiva with Invisalign

Marc did not like the unevenness of his gums during smile and the crowding of his upper from teeth. He also had narrow upper and lower jaws which resulted in a smile that created dark shadows at the corners of his mouth. Invisalign was used to align the teeth which resulted in alignment of the gingiva giving March a straight smile. The jaws were also expanded slightly to give Marc a fuller smile.

Treatment of a surgical case with Braces and TADs

Johnathan had gone to several orthodontists who had told him that his bite and teeth could only be corrected with surgery alone. Johnathan preferred to go through a non-surgical route so we thought outside of the box and used Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) and clear braces to align his teeth, correct his crossbite and shift the centre of his lower front teeth so that they would match the upper. What a beautiful result!

Treatment of severe crowding and crossbite using Invisalign

After 20 years of hiding her smile, Kim finally decided that she would proceed with Invisalign. We aligned the upper and lower from teeth, corrected the crossbones of her upper lateral incisors and gave her a fuller smile along with the confidence to show off her pearly whites!

Treatment of large gap with Invisalign

Monique was always smiling with her lips closed because she felt self conscious about the gap between her teeth. Invisalign was used to align her teeth and bite, and close the gap between her upper front teeth. A wire retainer behind her teeth was used to prevent the gap from opening in the future.

Treatment of narrow arches and crossbones using braces

Isabelle was not happy with her smile due to the crowding and narrowness of the upper jaw. The centre of her upper and lower front teeth (midlines) was also off due to problems with her bite. Braces were used to align all the teeth and give her a fuller smile. Elastics were used to align the bite and make sure that the midlines coincided.

Correction of an open bite with Invisalign

Stephanie previously had orthodontic treatment as a teenager. Overtime her upper and lower front teeth moved creating a mild open bite and she was looking for an aesthetic way to straighten her teeth. Invisalign was used to align the upper and lower front teeth, reduce the black triangle between the upper from teeth and give her a better overbite. Great results for Stephanie.
