Preteen Spacing and Protrusion Correction in Miami

As a specialized orthodontist, utilizing traditional braces for preteens allows us to efficiently correct severe dental discrepancies. Over the course of this 30-month treatment in our Kendall suite, we addressed significant dental spacing and protrusion. To beautifully close the gaps between the teeth, we used continuous orthodontic bands to gently draw them together. To correct the protrusion and properly align the bite, we incorporated specialized orthodontic rubber bands, guiding the upper teeth back into a functional, healthy position. Severe spacing and protrusion in a preteen are often more than an aesthetic concern; they can affect speech, lip closure, and the safety of the front teeth. This case highlights the power of a comprehensive (D8070) approach, using targeted orthodontic mechanics to bring flared teeth into a stable alignment. If you notice your child’s front teeth are significantly protruded or have large gaps, contact us for a clinical evaluation to discuss how specialized care can transform their smile and confidence.
