No extractions- growth modification
Correction using lower jaw growth
Midline, Crowding and Deep Bite Problems
Extract two upper bicuspids
Severe asymmetries, crowding, & deep bite
Extract bicuspids: 2 upper and 1 lower left
Open bite and upper molar & canine asymmetries; two stage treatment
Substitute upper left wisdom tooth for extracted second molar to correct asymmetry
Severe crowding & protruding front teeth
Extract four bicuspids
Thumb habit, missing lower right & upper left first molars
Missing molar spaces closed & open bite from habit corrected
No extractions
TADs for growth modification & lower tooth movement
No jaw surgery
Deep bite, crossbite left front teeth, crowding
No extractions
Lower jaw back, narrow upper jaw, no space for lower right incisor due to severe midline shift to right
Upper jaw expanded, space gain for crowded incisor, midline improved, headgear improved jaw relation
more space gained for crowded incisor, time to complete overbite correction and final alignement
Lower jaw position improved with growth modification which improved the profile; overbite & midline corrected, incisors aligned and upper molar asymmetry corrected by extracting upper left twelve year molar to create space to move upper left six year molar, bicuspids, and canine back.
Upper and lower crowding, crossbite of right incisors and gum recession of lower incisor due to crowding
Crowding, crossbite corrected with braces; graft placed by periodontist to cover exposed root.
Attempted without extractions using upper expander, but upper crowding and bite problem dictated removal of two upper bicuspids
Crowding and severe open bite
No extractions; open bite closed using bone anchors to move upper back teeth up, allowing lower jaw to rotate up
Severe upper and lower crowding, bite problems due to weak lower jaw and complete coverage of lower teeth by upper teeth
No extractions- braces to straighten teeth and growth modification with Herbst appliance for bite correction
