Before: This teenage patient presented with severe dental crowding, shifted midlines, and ectopic canines—meaning the eyeteeth were blocked out of their normal alignment and erupting irregularly.
After: Following a 24-month comprehensive treatment plan utilizing traditional metal braces and the strategic extraction of four side teeth (premolars) to create necessary space, we successfully guided the canines into proper position, resolved the severe crowding, and centered the dental midlines for a healthy, functional smile. If you notice your teen’s permanent teeth are erupting high in the gum line or appear blocked out, contact our office for a clinical evaluation to discuss their treatment options.
