Case 1: Treatment for open bite and overbites

In the case of open bites, closing the gap is easy, but to pull the incisors into the right position so that they are not bent or stuck is difficult...

If you want incisors to be beautiful, they must lie straight on the axis, so that when you take pictures, the light shines back on the surface of the front teeth.

Usually, patients are rarely satisfied after braces when the front teeth are still protruding.

Therefore, it is necessary to learn carefully about orthodontics, in order to get a result that patients are really satisfied with, rather than closing the gap, aligning the teeth, but the teeth are protruding.

Case 2: Treatment for backbite, open bite, crooked teeth (with tooth number 4 extracted)

Many patients have hesitated when suggested about having the 4th tooth extracted. Does it really affect health and chewing ability after orthodontic treatment?

In this case, we can clearly see that the incisors and canines (which are crooked) cannot bite, so they are not counted as having a chewing function.

After treatment, with "tooth extraction", the incisors were arranged neatly, the crooked canines were also placed in the right position, which improved the chewing force of the extracted teeth.

Thus, despite having 4 teeth extracted, chewing power will be "compensated" in the entire group of incisors and canines, a total of 12 teeth, significantly more than 4 extracted teeth.

Case 3: Invisalign treatment after 18 months, with wisdom tooth extraction 

Invisalign treatment with wisdom tooth extraction has the advantage of helping patients preserve tooth number 4, so it has little effect on chewing function.

The downside is that the time is a bit long, so patients need to be patient to achieve good results!

Case 4: Invisalign treatment is quite effective for gap teeth. Patient has achieved quite good results after 9 months

On the contrary, if a patient would like to have porcelain restorations for gap teeth , they must be carefully considered and evaluated, because in some cases when making porcelain teeth, they will be enlarged, may be rough and not beautiful. Roots can also be overloaded, weakening teeth.

Therefore, either you would choose orthodontic treatment or porcelain restorations, you must carefully evaluate the benefits, risks and durability of the results.
