BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS OF PATIENTS

Underbite with Two Phases of Treatment

Underbite, Brookings Orthodontist

Before

Underbite, Watertown Orthodontist

After

Underbites happen when the jaw misaligned—the lower teeth lap over front teeth due to the lower jaw sitting in front of the upper jaw.

After

Open bites occur when teeth are not aligned properly when your mount is closed.  The back teeth meet, but the front teeth do not, and this is majorly characterized by a vertical gap.

After

In overbites, upper teeth overlap lower front teeth, as the upper jaw is too far forward, and the lower jaw is too far back.


Extra  gaps and spaces also occur between teeth. This can result from missing teeth,  undersized teeth, an oversized jaw or a combination of these.

After

Crowded teeth (overcrowding) happens when there is insufficient space in the jaw. Teeth overlap, twist, are pushed toward the front or back, and grow in crooked.

Deep Bite

After

Deep bites occur when front teeth excessively overlap lower teeth as the bite is closed, which can bite into lower gums. In most cases, the lower jaw is often shorter than the top jaw.

Before

Laser Treatment, Milbank Orthodontist

After

Laser treatment effectively removes excess gum tissue to recontour the gum line. This exposes more of the tooth's surface so they look longer. 

Sometimes laser treatment helps reveal enough tooth surface to place a bracket or help impacted teeth emerge.
