Case Study 3

LM had eye teeth that were displaced and positioned highly. It was necessary to remove two teeth and the canines were brought into position using fixed appliances.

AA was missing two upper teeth and had a large gap between the upper central teeth as a result. The upper front teeth were behind the lower teeth when the teeth met. A fixed brace was used to bring the upper teeth across the bite and close the space. A bonded retainer was used to keep the gap closed.

AN had severe crowding with blocked out lateral incisors and a reduced overbite. The upper arch of teeth were expanded and aligned using a fixed appliance.

DM had prominent front teeth as a result of a small lower jaw. A functional brace was used to grow the lower jaw forwards and then a fixed brace was used to close the spaces.
