Not so lucky?




 The parent thought this child is hopeless.Well,what do you expect in towns? Thank God! Dentistry is upgrading endlessly. Nothing is impossible today. The  Dentist said, "this is just a simple case...".Indeed, this is just a little ortho thing. This 10 year old boy has a deep bite, slightly crowded anterior teeth, unerupted canines but with class I molar relationship and a full permanent dentition. Lack of space is the main cause of this problem. Since the patient is growing,we don't need to extract some teeth to align them. The alveolar bones are on its growth peak during this age,all we need is something to initiate and guide the teeth to it's proper position. The trend says, Braces, we will install a Fixed Orthodontic Appliance. What I did here is a basic Fixed Orthodontic Treatment.


Upper Braces Installed


3 months later, lower braces installed


After 2 months


After 3 months


The patient's teeth are properly aligned. I'm now on the process of stabilization and closing the bite. I'll be posting latest photos soon.

  1. Hello,
    Would clear braces work in this case?
    Thank you.
