Early Orthodontics and Braces Before and After in Leander, TX by Pendleton Ortho | Case 109174

12 Months in Phase I Treatment Before Patient came in when she was seven years old with some dental problems. She had so much crowding of her upper jaw that not only did her front teeth not have enough room to grow in, but she had a back molar that was stuck underneath another baby tooth that was holding space for ANOTHER permanent tooth! Her upper jaw was also narrower than her lower jaw, causing a significant crossbite of her back teeth, which can lead to excessive tooth wear and jaw problems. After After an early phase of orthodontic intervention that lasted only 12 months, we used an expander and upper braces to ensure she has enough space for all of her permanent teeth, including the teeth that haven't grown in yet.
