Before As you can see, this patient displayed an abnormally large "overbite". A situation like this has profound effects on facial and profile esthetics, as well as tongue posture relating to speech and swallowing. It is evident that the lips do not match because of the effect the extreme forward positioning the upper teeth have on lip posture.	After Our patient was treated with full braces. The upper teeth were brought back into a normal "overbite" relationship to the lower. You can also see the harrnonious effect on the facial profile with the lips now in proper balance to each other. A lifetime with a beautiful smile.

Before This patient demonstrated a severe openbite where only the back teeth came in contact. She was unable to function with her front teeth, which can cause disturbances in chewing, digestion and strain to the jaw joints.	After The results speak for themselves. Our patient's smile and facial esthetics have transformed her appearance and function to ideal levels. A combination of comprehensive orthodontics and oral surgery produced a truly remarkable smile to last a lifetime.
