This young boy was seen as a second opinion from another orthodontist's office. Mom brought the boy and assumed that he would have to remove at least four teeth to make room for his teeth. However, when we examined his dentition and their positions within the jaw, we suggested that we try non-extraction. By using a "passive, self-ligating appliance" such as Damon, we were able to gradually improve his arch crowding. He is still currently in finishing stage of treatment but excited that only 8 months have passed since he first put on his braces!
