Evidence of Expertise
The engineering behind the smile.
Every result below is the product of a specific architectural plan. Use the sliders to verify the change in alignment, bite function, and facial balance.
The Extraction Myth
The Diagnosis
Bimaxillary protrusion (teeth flaring forward) causing lip incompetence. The patient struggled to close his lips comfortably, straining the chin muscle (mentalis).
The Engineering
A strategic extraction plan (4 premolars) allowed us to retract the front teeth. Note the dramatic improvement in chin projection and facial balance. The extractions did not flatten the face; they harmonized it.
The Expansion Phase
The Diagnosis
Severe crowding with blocked-out permanent teeth. The jaw size was insufficient to accommodate the erupting adult teeth, leading to significant rotation and displacement.
The Engineering
By intervening early, we utilized rapid palatal expansion to develop the arch width. This created the necessary space for the permanent teeth to erupt naturally, avoiding the need for future extractions.
Complex Bite Correction
The Diagnosis
Anterior Open Bite with Class III tendency (Underbite). The front teeth did not touch, making chewing difficult and placing excessive force on the back teeth.
The Engineering
Using Invisalign with "SmartForce" attachments, we intruded the posterior teeth (molars) to close the bite at the front. We simultaneously corrected the underbite relationship using precision-cut elastics, achieving full function without surgery.
Vertical Control & Intrusion
The Diagnosis
Deep bite with over-erupted upper central incisors. The patient presented with a "Gummy Smile" and uneven gingival margins, where the front teeth sat too low relative to the upper lip.
The Engineering
We utilized Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) to apply pure intrusive forces. By anchoring to the bone, we lifted the anterior teeth and gum line upwards (Intrusion) to reduce the gummy display and level the smile arc without jaw surgery.
The Non-Extraction Arc
The Diagnosis
Severe upper and lower crowding with a narrow maxilla. The smile appeared "hidden" due to the inward angle of the teeth.
The Engineering
We utilized a broad-arch wire sequence combined with passive self-ligating brackets to expand the smile width. By unraveling the crowding without removing teeth, we created a full, consonant smile arc that supports the facial soft tissue.
Crossbite & Smile Arc
The Diagnosis
Anterior crossbite with upper crowding. The upper front teeth were trapped behind the lower teeth, locking the bite and creating a flat, hidden smile curve.
The Engineering
We utilized Invisalign aligners to "jump" the crossbite, expanding the upper arch to release the trapped teeth. Simultaneously, we programmed vertical extrusion to enhance the "Smile Arc," positioning the upper teeth to follow the natural curvature of the lower lip.
