This adult patient presented with a Class III malocclusion (underbite) and severe lower crowding. To achieve a stable and aesthetic result without surgery, we performed a camouflage treatment involving the extraction of two lower bicuspids. This allowed for the successful correction of the anterior crossbite and created a harmonious, functional bite with perfect alignment. This case demonstrates that while skeletal concerns are complex, not all require a surgical approach. If you are an adult who has been told surgery is your only option, we invite you to schedule a personal evaluation to explore how specialized orthodontic expertise can provide a life-changing, non-surgical resolution.
Dr. Martinez is friendly, intelligent, professional, and is always eager to explain his process and make everything as quick, easy and comfortable as possible. I’d recommend him to anyone. — Kieron W.
