Moderate Crowding with a Class III Tendency
This patient presented with moderate crowding in both the upper and lower arches and a Class III bite tendency. Using Pitts 21 brackets with Smile Arc Protection (SAP) bracket positioning and customized elastic wear, we created a balanced bite and natural smile arc in just 20 months.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment for a Class II Bite and Narrow Arches
This patient presented with narrow dental arches, a Class II molar relationship, and undersized upper lateral incisors. Treatment began with a rapid palatal expander (RPE) and D2 appliance to widen the upper jaw and establish a healthy bite. Pitts 21 braces completed the alignment while preserving ideal spacing for composite bonding of the upper lateral incisors, resulting in a balanced, functional smile after 28 months.
Two-Phase Treatment for an Anterior Crossbite and Narrow Upper Arch
This patient presented with a single-tooth anterior crossbite, a narrow upper arch, crowding, and a functional forward jaw shift caused by the bite. Phase I treatment used a rapid palatal expander (RPE) and limited braces to widen the upper arch and establish a healthy foundation. In Phase II, clear aligners completed the alignment and bite correction, producing an excellent result in just 12 months of aligner treatment.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment for Severe Crowding
This patient presented with severe crowding, narrow dental arches, blocked-out upper lateral incisors and lower canines, and a thick upper frenum. Treatment began with rapid palatal expansion (RPE) to create space for erupting teeth, followed by limited braces. During the second phase, another RPE and Pitts 21 braces corrected a 180° rotated tooth, improved the bite, and created a broad, healthy smile.
Two-Phase Treatment for an Open Bite and Tongue Thrust Habit
This patient presented with a mild anterior open bite, a tongue thrust habit, and a narrow upper arch. Phase I treatment used a rapid palatal expander (RPE) with a tongue crib to widen the upper jaw, create additional space for the tongue, and eliminate the tongue thrust habit. Phase II treatment with clear aligners completed the bite correction and smile alignment in just 13 months.
Early Treatment for a Class III Bite and Anterior Crossbite
This patient presented with a developing Class III growth pattern, a small upper jaw, an anterior crossbite, and a slight open bite. Treatment began at the ideal stage of growth with a rapid palatal expander (RPE), reverse-pull headgear, and limited braces to guide upper jaw development and establish a healthy foundation. Pitts 21 braces completed the second phase of treatment, resulting in a healthy bite, balanced facial development, and an outstanding smile.
Invisalign Treatment for Generalized Spacing and Jaw Asymmetry
This patient presented with generalized spacing in both arches, lower jaw asymmetry, a thick upper frenum, and a tongue thrust habit. Using Invisalign clear aligners with precision elastics, we corrected the spacing, improved the bite, and addressed the jaw asymmetry while achieving a beautiful, healthy smile in just 20 months.
Two-Phase Treatment for an Open Bite and Tongue Thrust
This patient presented with a 2 mm anterior open bite, tongue thrust habit, protruding upper teeth, a thick upper frenum, and erupting upper canines that were developing at an angle. Phase I treatment used a rapid palatal expander (RPE) with a tongue crib to expand the upper jaw, eliminate the tongue thrust habit, and create an ideal foundation for future treatment. Phase II treatment with Pitts 21 braces completed the bite correction and alignment. Following orthodontic treatment, laser gum contouring refined the smile by improving tooth proportions, creating a beautifully balanced final result.
Early Treatment for an Underbite and Anterior Crossbite
This patient presented with a mild anterior crossbite (underbite), a functional forward jaw shift, mild crowding, and upper canines that were erupting outside their ideal position. Phase I treatment used a rapid palatal expander (RPE) and limited braces to create space, guide canine eruption, and correct the crossbite. Phase II treatment with Pitts 21 braces, bite turbos, and precision elastics completed the bite correction and alignment, producing a healthy, stable smile.
Creating Space for Blocked-Out Canines Without Extractions
This patient presented with severe crowding, blocked-out upper canines, an edge-to-edge bite, and anterior crossbites involving both upper lateral incisors. Using Pitts 21 brackets and biomechanical principles, we gently expanded the dental arches to create room for the canines to erupt naturally while correcting the bite with precision elastics. Treatment was completed in just 18 months, resulting in a healthy bite and beautifully balanced smile.
Accelerated Treatment for Posterior Crossbites and Severe Crowding
This patient presented with bilateral posterior crossbites, a narrow upper arch, and significant crowding. Treatment combined Pitts 21 braces with Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO), an advanced procedure that temporarily stimulates the bone’s natural healing response to allow teeth to move more efficiently. This comprehensive approach produced a healthy bite, expanded arches, and a beautifully aligned smile in only 11 months.
Two-Phase Treatment for a Severe Deep Overbite
This patient presented with a 90% deep overbite, upper spacing, a thick upper frenum, and slight protrusion of the upper teeth. After careful growth monitoring to begin treatment at the ideal time, Phase I treatment used a rapid palatal expander (RPE) and limited braces to create space and establish a healthy foundation for jaw development. Phase II treatment with Invisalign clear aligners finalized the bite and alignment in about one year, resulting in a broad smile, improved incisal display, and a healthy, balanced bite.
Correcting a Severe Deep Bite with a Herbst Appliance and Pitts 21 Braces
This patient presented with a small lower jaw, a 100% deep overbite, 9 mm of upper tooth protrusion (overjet), moderate to severe crowding, and a blocked-out lower canine. Treatment began with a Herbst appliance to encourage forward lower jaw growth and widen the upper arch. Pitts 21 braces, an open coil spring, and elastics then aligned the teeth, created space for the blocked-out canine, and coordinated the bite, resulting in a healthy, balanced smile in just over two years.
Invisalign Treatment for a Complex Adult Bite and Crowding Case
This patient presented with moderate crowding, a Class III bite tendency, an upper lateral incisor in crossbite, and missing lower second molars. Using Invisalign clear aligners, we broadened both arches, corrected the bite, resolved the crowding, and positioned the teeth to support future dental implants. Treatment was completed in approximately 22 months, producing a healthy, functional, and balanced smile.
Correcting a Severe Deep Bite and Excessive Overjet with Growth Modification
This patient presented with a 70% deep overbite, 10 mm of excessive upper tooth protrusion (overjet), a narrow upper jaw, and spacing in both arches. Treatment began with a Herbst appliance and a rapid palatal expander (RPE) to encourage forward lower jaw growth while widening the upper arch. After growth correction, Pitts 21 braces and orthodontic elastics completed the bite correction and alignment in just 15 months of braces, creating a healthy, functional, and confident smile.
Growth-Guided Treatment for a Severe Deep Overbite and Excessive Overjet
This patient presented with a small lower jaw, a narrow upper jaw, a severe 10 mm overjet, an 80% deep overbite, and moderate crowding. Treatment began with a Herbst appliance and rapid palatal expander (RPE) to guide jaw development and improve the skeletal relationship before comprehensive orthodontics. Pitts 21 braces, bite turbos, and elastics then completed the alignment, corrected the bite, and delivered a healthy, balanced smile.
Complex Open Bite Correction with Invisalign
This patient presented with a complex anterior open bite, lower jaw asymmetry, a narrow upper arch, and moderate crowding. Using Invisalign clear aligners and precision elastics, we corrected the bite, broadened the smile, aligned both arches, and achieved a healthy, functional, and aesthetic result in approximately 18 months.
Correcting an Open Bite While Creating a More Comfortable Bite
This patient presented with a shallow overbite, bilateral posterior open bite, a constricted upper arch, moderate crowding, and bite-related jaw discomfort. Using Pitts 21 braces, bite turbos, orthodontic elastics, and power chains, we broadened the arches, corrected the bite, aligned the teeth, and established a healthier, more stable bite while creating a beautifully balanced smile.
Transforming a Crossbite into a Broad, Confident Smile
This patient presented with TMJ-related jaw discomfort, occasional headaches, an upper lateral incisor in crossbite, an edge-to-edge bite, mild crowding, and limited incisal display. Treatment began with a rapid palatal expander (RPE) to create space before Pitts 21 braces were used to precisely align the teeth, correct the bite, and enhance smile aesthetics. In just 19 months, treatment produced a broader smile, improved incisal display, and a healthy, balanced bite.
Correcting a Bilateral Crossbite and Narrow Smile with Palatal Expansion
This patient presented with a bilateral molar crossbite, shallow overbite, mild upper jaw protrusion, and narrow upper and lower arches. Treatment began with a Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) to widen the upper arch, correct the crossbite, and create a broader smile. Once sufficient expansion was achieved, Pitts 21 braces were placed to complete bite correction and alignment, resulting in a healthy, broad, balanced smile in just 19 months.
Correcting a Severe Deep Bite and Tooth Wear with Pitts 21 Braces
This patient presented with severe wear of the upper and lower teeth, a 100% deep overbite, and mild spacing. Treatment with the Pitts 21 system, bite turbos, and orthodontic elastics opened the deep bite and positioned the teeth for restorative work with the patient’s general dentist. Close collaboration between the orthodontic and general dental teams resulted in a healthy, functional bite and a restored, confident smile.
