At first glance, this patients teeth aren’t too bad.
But there’s always room for improvement.
In this case what’s really happening is a “cross-bite” meaning the back teeth are crossed over causing a narrow smile and severe wear if left alone.
To remedy this, Dr. Chu used Invisalign to correct the cross-bite. The upper jaw expanded & the crooked teeth were fixed simultaneously to produce these lovely results.
Are your teeth wearing down? Maybe Invisalign can fix that for you.
This is called a cross bite! Crossbites are commonly caused by a narrow upper jaw.
Severely narrow upper jaw not only leads to overcrowding, teeth and joint damage over time; it can also impacts mood and learning!
Having helped many kids with these concerns, we know the best window to treat this problem is around 10-12 years of age. Once the opportunity is gone, correction generally involves teeth removal or even surgery!
If your child has similar looking teeth or other concerns, we still have a few spots left this school holiday.
