Take a look at some of the results we’ve achieved for our patients.
Each case below is described by Dr. Stanley Robison.
In adults, spaces sometimes appear where they did not exist before, often due to changes in the bone support of the teeth.
Once her teeth and gums were healthy and stable, we used passive, low-force mechanics with Invisalign to close her spaces, emulating the forces of the Damon system.
An underbite is when the lower teeth protrude in front of the upper teeth. We avoid surgery in as many cases as possible by camouflaging skeletal problems, often with the Damon System and TAD’s.
For this patient it was a jaw related problem, treated with Invisalign followed by surgery on both jaws.
Rather than a Rapid Palatal Expander or Braces, we used a simple ramp made of tooth composite to help the upper tooth “jump” the lower tooth using the patient’s own biting force.
The composite was removed, and no retainer was needed!
This patient was congenitally missing the left upper lateral incisor, and the right one was severely undersized.
After consultation with the parents, we closed the spaces and reshaped the canines to function as lateral incisors: a beautiful smile with her natural teeth, in less time and with less cost than implants.
This patient also had severe protrusion of her front teeth, so she was treated with the extraction of four premolars.
Although extractions are rare in my office, they are indicated in some cases such as this one.
No one is perfectly symmetrical, and most jaw asymmetries can be camouflaged. When the skeletal asymmetry is so significant that jaw surgery is necessary, the teeth must first be placed in the correct position.
This patient had braces in preparation for jaw surgery. Currently, most surgical preparation is done using Invisalign.
Rather than doing extractions, we expanded the arches, aligned the teeth and gave this patient a nice broad smile with the Damon System – no extractions and no expanders.
We extract for the face, not for the space.
This adult had severe protrusion, a Class II malocclusion (bite) and a crossbite on the left side, skeletal problems that would have required jaw surgery in the past.
Using just the Damon system and elastics, her bite and crossbite were corrected, and her smile and profile improved dramatically.
Excessive overjet occurs when the upper arch is too far forward, the lower arch is too far back, or a combination of the two.
Instead of headgear, multiple phases of treatment or surgery, we corrected this patient’s bite and gave her a great profile and smile using a Herbst appliance.
An overbite is when the upper teeth overlap too much of the lower teeth vertically, which can lead to future problems with the teeth and gums.
Using only the Damon System, we broadened the arches, aligned the crowded teeth and resolved the overbite, without a Rapid Palatal Expander or Headgear.
Our goal is to keep you smiling while creating your new smile!
In planning treatment, I always try to develop a plan that is simple, non-invasive, rapid, and economical.
