✨ New Smile Reveal! ✨
This patient’s smile transformation was achieved with a well-planned two-phase orthodontic approach. She initially presented with early loss of a baby tooth that caused a lower midline shift, along with a tongue habit that resulted in an open bite of the front teeth.
The first phase of treatment focused on correcting these specific issues early, setting the foundation for healthy growth. After a break to allow her remaining adult teeth to erupt, Phase 2 treatment was completed using an expander, braces, and elastics to fine-tune her bite and perfect her smile.
A two-phase approach can be very helpful in addressing specific problems before they become worse, making later treatment much more efficient and predictable. The result is a healthy bite and a beautiful, confident smile!
