Orthodontic treatment can significantly improve your smile, how your teeth function, and the way you interact with other people. At North County Orthodontics, Drs. Ross and Laura Pulver treat children, teens, and adults customizing treatment to individual needs. There is a story behind every smile. Here are a few orthodontic Before & Afters treated by Drs. Ross and Laura Pulver.
Teen - 26 months
This teen had a cross bite because her top jaw was too narrow. She also had rotated teeth, an improper bite, and her midlines were shifted. We treated her with an expander and braces in 26 months to give her a gorgeous smile!
Teen - 2 Phase Treatment
This teen’s parents were concerned about her crowding and that her top teeth were too far forward. She was treated with 2 phases of treatment and extractions to give her a great bite and beautiful smile!
Adult - 18 months
This adult patient felt that her front teeth stuck out and she did not like her crowding. We treated her with braces and elastics in 18 months!
Teen Upper Only - 12 months
This teen had a great bite and aligned lower teeth, but one of her baby teeth was not getting loose and her permeant tooth was coming in improperly. We treated her in a year with upper braces only and now she has a great smile!
Adult Braces and Jaw Surgery
This adult did not like her profile and how her teeth functioned. She had a cross bite at her front and back teeth with improperly aligned top and bottom jaws. We treated her orthodontically with braces while working with an oral surgeon who performed double jaw surgery while in braces to coordinate her jaws and improve her profile. She looks and feels great!
Phase 1 Treatment - 12 months
This patient felt that her front teeth stuck out and she wanted to improve her self-confidence going into middle school. We treated her with an expander and braces for 12 months and gave her the confidence she deserves!
Teen Braces - 24 months
This teen’s parents wanted him to have the best smile possible. We noted that he excessively overlapped his bottom teeth which leads to future wear of his teeth and that he had an overbite. We fixed his bite and gave him a winning smile in 2 years!
College Student - 12 months
This college student wanted to straighten her teeth and get a smile makeover. We did just that with braces in a year! She is happily smiling and showing off her awesome smile!
