Before: This preteen patient in mixed dentition presented with an anterior crossbite, an orthodontic condition where the lower front teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, commonly referred to as an underbite.
After: Following a comprehensive Phase I early intervention, we utilized a bonded rapid palatal expander and partial upper and lower braces to successfully correct the crossbite. This targeted approach creates a healthy foundation for erupting permanent teeth and prepares the dental arches for potential Phase II treatment if necessary.
Evaluation: Early orthodontic care requires meticulous biomechanical planning. Through our private practice model, Dr. Martinez personally evaluates and treats every patient at every visit to ensure the most effective, aesthetic, and lasting outcome.
