Rachel’s mom brought her to see us after we completed treatment on her older brother a few years prior. Rachel didn’t like how her front teeth looked; she felt that they were sticking out too much. Her dentist was also worried that she would be prone to damaging her front teeth due to their forward position. We initially used an expander for Rachel to make space to bring her upper teeth back. Then we used braces for 16 months to give her a beautiful, healthy smile before middle school started.
