Amanda is a remarkable lady who has a small-time frame for her treatment which we could not fulfil due to the complexity nature of the treatment.

She saw the whole treatment through to the end and what a beautiful result. Functionally the gum recession has reduced on a number of teeth and those at high risk were preserved throughout the treatment. She was always a confident lady though this gave her added confident in her work as a yoga teacher.

Memorable moment: The surprise look when she saw how we managed to close the dark triangles – see above images.

Moderate to marked protrusions in children deserve attention for a few reasons:

  1. The aesthetics and possible affect on their development of confidence or self esteem.
  2. Teeth are more prone to damage due to trauma and follow complication with the management.
  3. Intercepted at the right stage, the changes are rapid and remarkable. This window of opportunity gets smaller with increasing age and can be markedly difficult age 15+.
  4. Some may add affect on mouth breathing, facial development, nasal blockages, sleep disturbance, mental development etc etc. We take a more practical view as alarmist overtones is not a good start off point when it is not backed up by evidence based research.

The orthodontics was completed in 12 months and was stable into her teens when permanent dentition treatment is considered.

Most Memorable moment/s: Her lovely smile on meeting at the first visit and meeting her father.

A patient shared his concern about his protruding teeth, which he felt gave him an unwanted pout and made his face appear elongated. As an extroverted healthcare professional, confidence is crucial, but he often felt insecure, especially when receiving comments about his appearance.

In just three months of treatment with the Damon ULTIMA brace, he noticed significant improvements that enhanced his self-assurance. By the end of the treatment, detailed adjustments were made to perfect the alignment and slope of his teeth, achieving a remarkable transformation in less than a year.

The Damon ULTIMA brace not only effectively corrected his dental issues but also sported a stylish look he proudly wore. This transformation was accomplished within 11 months, without the loss of any teeth. A testament to the effectiveness of advanced orthodontic solutions by FIRST Ortho and Damon Ultima system.

11 years after treating this young man, we discover the moving story of how we helped a child growing into a vibrant young man who embraced life to the fullest.

Reflecting on his transformation, he shared, “When I was young, I lacked confidence, but my experience with braces at FIRST Ortho transformed me. I haven’t looked back. Returning after 11 years for a replacement retainer, I was glad to reconnect with Dr. Patel and his team.”

There was more to Abukar story than his orthodontics. Meeting him as a young man he served as an inspiring example of how to face life’s challenges and a reminder never to give up. Bless you Abukar and thank you for sharing your remarkable story of survival.

Protrusion of the upper teeth, makes then 6x more vulnerable to damage. Correction of protrusion is both aesthetically and functionally beneficial.

However, in the young, the baby teeth can be too loose to support a functional brace. In this case fixed brace can be a solution though the design features of these braces are unique and requires greater skill.

A tremendous result for someone who already had the loss of four teeth from previous orthodontics.

This client had a deep bite and a severe protrusion. She wanted the best invisible appliance, so we advised Incognito. An excellent brace for deep bite correction as this would then allow the correction of the protrusion and straightening which were our main aims.

This lovely smile was with excellent compliance.

As usual, a naturally good looking result with no need for additional composite bonding or modifications to the client’s teeth apart from the use of fixed braces.

A remarkable change both facially and dentally, leading to a much more confident smile.
