Emma's parents can see that there is some growth problems with Emma's teeth.

The analysis of Emma's facial development showed the need for early intervention.

A combination of plates ,fixed space maintainers and  postural and airway correction is used .This allows catch-up growth to occur and the natural facial growth pattern to emerge.

Active phase one treatment usually lasts for 15 months or less.

 

The following pictures show the resulting adult occlusion.

Only phase one treatment was required

No extraction where required to relieve crowding in Emma's treatment

No braces were used in Emma's  treatment

Growth correction followed by natural development leads to the optimum in facial appearance .A beautiful full face contour. is possible if extraction in the anterior of the mouth is avoided

 

No retention is required here .The  natural growth and development continues once the corrections have been made.
