Patient of Killarney Vale’s Braces Makeover

A student from Killarney Vale came to Central Coast Orthodontics with concerns about her crooked teeth and an unerupted canine. Referred by her general dentist, she was eager to find a solution to straighten her teeth and address the bite misalignment she had been experiencing. Dr. Deall and Dr. King thoroughly examined her situation and identified the unerupted canine as the primary issue.

To ensure the teeth were properly aligned and that space was maintained for the canine, they developed a comprehensive treatment plan. The plan involved fitting a transpalatal arch (TPA) to hold space, followed by upper and lower metal braces to straighten the teeth. The patient was excited to begin treatment and looked forward to her smile makeover.
