About these smile transformations
Can I expect the same result as a photograph?
Every starting bite, facial pattern and treatment plan is different. These photographs document selected published results; they do not predict your outcome. An in-person examination is needed to discuss realistic options.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The gallery records the published duration where available. Timing depends on the bite problem, appliance, growth and cooperation. A personal estimate follows assessment and diagnostic records.
Do all crowded teeth need extractions?
No. Both extraction and non-extraction examples appear here. Space requirements, the bite, facial profile and supporting tissues guide that decision.
Are braces or clear aligners better for my bite?
Both are represented in this gallery. The appropriate appliance depends on the movements required and your clinical assessment, rather than the appearance of the appliance alone.
Why are retainers important after treatment?
Teeth can move after active treatment. A retainer plan and follow-up help maintain alignment; the schedule is discussed for each individual.
