Before: This preteen patient presented with moderate crowding and a severe overjet—meaning the upper front teeth protruded significantly over the lower teeth. This extreme protrusion not only impacted the aesthetics of the smile but also left the front teeth highly vulnerable to accidental trauma.
After: Following a 24-month comprehensive treatment plan, we successfully corrected the severe overjet and relieved moderate crowding through the strategic extraction of four side teeth. This precise biomechanical approach allowed us to retract the flared upper teeth into a stable, healthy alignment, effectively eliminating the risk of dental trauma. Because extractions require the highest level of orthodontic expertise to maintain facial harmony and ideal occlusion, Dr. Martinez personally managed every adjustment in our private practice model. The results are now maintained with custom Hawley retainers. IIf you notice your child’s front teeth sit significantly forward or appear vulnerable to injury, we invite you to schedule a personal evaluation to discuss how specialized care can safely align their smile.
