Unilateral Posterior Crossbite Was Corrected Using Rapid Palatal Expander at Georgia Orthodontic Care, Lawrenceville, GA 30043

Image
Posterior crossbite is often related to a narrow maxilla and upper dental arch.  It can be unilateral (one side) or bilateral (both sides).  When crossbite condition presents, it is recommended to correct it as soon as possible before the palatal suture fused to avoid future orthognathic surgery. Shown below is a patient with unilateral posterior crossbite just completed at our office using rapid palatal expander in conjunction with comprehensive orthodontic treatment.  Our goal is to create a beautiful, healthy SMILE that can last for a lifetime.  We have two convenient offices (in Lawrenceville close to Mall of Georgia & in Norcross just off Jimmy Carter Blvd) to serve you.  Visit our website at www.gaorthocare.com or call our main office today at 678 985-8087 to make an appointment and hear more about our special orthodontic offers this month !

Patient With Arch Asymmetry, Crowded Teeth, and Bilateral Posterior Crossbite Was Treated by Dr Nguyen

Image
Perfectly symmetrical faces are very rare to find.  Even in individual patient with symmetrical face has skeletal asymmetry; this suggests that soft tissues minimize the existing asymmetry.  Therefore small asymmetries are considered normal.  When arch asymmetries become significant, it should be considered in planning for orthodontic treatments.  Most dental asymmetries can be treated with orthodontics alone during patient’s growth period; however, significant asymmetries may require later orthognathic surgical treatments. Shown below is a patient with severe arch asymmetry, teeth are very crowded, posterior crossbite on both sides were treated by Dr Nguyen during patient’s growth period without surgical intervention For more information, please visit our website at www.gaorthocare.com or contact our office at 678 985-8087 for a complimentary consultation.

Orthodontic Treatment of Patient with Deep Bite, Impacted Teeth, and Facial Asymmetry by Dr Nguyen at Georgia Orthodontic Care, Lawrenceville, GA 30043

Image
A deep bite or overbite is when the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower front teeth.  Often you cannot see the lower front teeth.  It is very important to correct it because it can cause improper function of your front teeth, incisor edges of lower front teeth biting into the gum tissue of the palate leading to tissue problems and potentially loss of the upper front teeth, unusual wear of lower front teeth, cause your jaw/joint problem, and make your smile less attractive. Shown below is a patient with deep bite, impacted teeth, and facial asymmetry was treated by Dr Nguyen. Patient’s bite and facial symmetry improve significantly.   For more information, please visit our website at www.gaorthocare.com or contact us at 678 985-8087

Inter-disciplined Treatments to Restore a Missing Tooth

Image
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone.  Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth.  Implants are used to replace missing teeth.  They can also be used to support your partials and dentures, preventing them from slipping or shifting in your mouth.  Healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant are critical factors to receive implants. In addition, meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants. Shown below is our patient with generalized spaces and missing upper right lateral incisor.  Orthodontic treatments were performed by Dr Nguyen at Georgia Orthodontic Care to consolidate spaces and establish an ideal space for missing tooth to be placed.  Implant was inserted and restored by Dr LiaVo at the Vo Dentistry . For more information, please visit our website at www.gaorthocare.com or co...

Orthodontic Treatments with Teeth Extraction

Image
To extract or not to extract of permanent teeth for orthodontic treatments has been a controversial topic in the orthodontic community for many years.   A thorough diagnosis by a skilled clinician including facial profile, soft tissue thickness, lip competency, dental crowding & protrusion, arch forms … should be carried out for each individual patient. At our office we try to minimize teeth extractions whenever possible to preserve integrity of arches and give broad smiles.  However, extraction can be helpful in certain cases.  Shown below is a case treated by Dr Nguyen when extraction is needed. A beautiful smile within an attractive balanced face is always our goal.  Please visit our website at www.gaorthocare.com for more information.

Orthodontic Treatment of Dental Crossbite Without Teeth Extraction or Jaw Surgery

Image
A crossbite or underbite is a condition when you bite down your upper teeth fall behind your lower teeth.  It can happen in front (anterior crossbite) or in the back (posterior crossbite) and one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) of the jaw.   Crossbite can involve a single tooth or multiple teeth and it can be related to dental, skeletal origin, or both.  In young patients it is often treated with skeletal expansion on the upper arch followed by braces to align their teeth.  However, in adult patients jaw surgery is often needed to correct it. A crossbite is more than just a cosmetic imperfection; it could result in many conditions such as TMJ, loose teeth, receding gums, excessive wear of enamel on permanent teeth, and asymmetrical growth of your face and jaw. Shown below is a crossbite case that was treated at our office without teeth extraction or surgery. If you suspect that you or your children have a crossbite and want to have mor...
