Before And After: One Patient’s Orthodontic Journey
Do you ever feel like your smile doesn’t reflect the real you? That’s how Yuliana felt before her orthodontic journey. Her crowded teeth made her self-conscious, and one front tooth was trapped behind the others, throwing off her entire smile. Another practice told her extractions were necessary to fix the issue—but we had a different plan.
Continue reading to see how Yuliana’s smile was transformed with a gentle, balanced approach to orthodontics.
A Personalized Approach to Orthodontics
At our practice, we take a healthier, more natural approach to orthodontics. Instead of removing healthy teeth, we focus on creating space by gently expanding the upper and lower jaws. For Yuliana, this meant two phases of treatment:
- Phase 1: Jaw Expansion. This step made room for all of Yuliana’s teeth without the need for extractions.
- Phase 2: Damon Braces. Using advanced, self-ligating brackets, Damon braces straightened her teeth quickly and comfortably in about a year.
This approach didn’t just give Yuliana a beautiful, symmetrical smile—it also improved the alignment of her jaws, enhancing her overall oral health.
Clear Aligners: A Modern Alternative
For some patients, clear aligners like ClearCorrect are an excellent choice for straightening teeth. These custom-made trays are discreet, removable, and effective for many alignment issues. While they’re not right for every case, they offer a flexible alternative to braces for patients looking for a low-maintenance solution.
Whether braces or aligners are the best fit for you depends on your specific needs, but both options can deliver stunning results when paired with a carefully planned treatment strategy.
A Smile Worth Sharing
Yuliana’s transformation is proof of what’s possible with personalized care. She no longer hides her smile. Instead, she lights up every room with confidence.
