Real smiles, before and after

An upper canine sat outside the arch and the front teeth bit the wrong way. We guided the canine into line and set the bite right.

Prominent, gappy upper front teeth, what many call buck teeth, brought back into a straight, even smile with the gap closed.

A large gap and prominent upper front teeth were closed and aligned into an even, comfortable bite.

The back teeth met the wrong way, with the top teeth biting inside the bottom. We aligned them so they bite together correctly.

A canine came through out of place with crowding around it. We made room and guided it into a neat, even arch.

The upper canines sat high above the smile line, like little fangs. We brought them down into a straight, even smile.

The teeth were crowded and overlapping, with some pushed out of the arch. We made the space they needed so every tooth could sit in an even line.

The upper side teeth were small with gaps around them. We closed the spaces and set the teeth up ready for a natural, even smile.

The upper front teeth sat well ahead of the lower ones. They now meet evenly, sitting back in a comfortable, balanced bite.

The upper teeth covered the lower ones almost completely. The bite now sits where it should, with the lower teeth visible and meeting evenly.

The front teeth were tipped back with the bite closing down hard. We opened the bite and brought the teeth into an even, healthy position.

In a young child, a front tooth was biting inside the bite. A short, early course of treatment moved it into the right position.

The upper jaw was narrow with the back teeth biting the wrong way. An expander gently widened the arch and made room for the teeth.

The upper side teeth were missing. Rather than replace them, we moved the canines into their place and shaped the smile to look complete.

The permanent canines were stuck and had not come through into the arch. We guided them into place so the arch is complete and even.

A lower front tooth had been squeezed right out of the arch. We made the space it needed and guided every tooth into line.

This canine sat high above the arch with a large gap beneath it. We guided it down into its proper place and the smile closed up evenly.

The gap between these front teeth was wide enough to see the lower teeth through it. It is now completely closed, with every tooth in contact.

A prominent gap between the two front teeth, closed completely, with the rest of the smile brought into line at the same time.

Overlapped, rotated front teeth and a bite so deep the lower teeth barely showed. Both were fixed together in one treatment.

A rotated side tooth and a canine erupting high above the line. With the right space created, every tooth found its place.

Before treatment the lower teeth were almost completely hidden behind the uppers. Now the bite sits where it should.

Canines that erupt high and stick out are one of the most common worries we see. This one now sits perfectly in line.

A badly displaced side tooth and teeth competing for space. Careful specialist planning turned it into a straight, evenly spaced smile.

Not every case is dramatic. Small overlaps, a rotated tooth and a few small spaces, finished to the same specialist standard as the complex cases.

Looking down at the lower arch: rotated, overlapping teeth guided into a smooth curve. The thin wire in the after photo is a bonded retainer, quietly holding the result.

This upper side tooth sat right outside the arch and the bite was too deep. Both were corrected together in one plan. The X-rays below are this same patient.

Gaps sat between several of these teeth. We closed them and brought the whole arch into even, comfortable contact.

The front teeth did not meet, leaving a clear gap when the back teeth were together. They now close evenly.

Years of wear had left the front teeth short and spaced. A full course of treatment restored an even, healthy alignment.

The upper front teeth sat well ahead of the lower, with crowding and spacing through the arch. Every tooth is now aligned and meeting evenly.
