Interceptive
8-year-old male Chief complaint: “Need Phase I treatment. Breathing issues with a very small mouth. Concerned about the Airway.” Initial: Constricted maxilla, skeletal Class II, deep bite, moderate to severe crowding, Treatment: Custom expanders
MARPE
23-year-old male Chief complaint: “Front teeth are touching when biting.” Initial: Constricted maxilla, skeletal Class III, underbite tendency, edge-to-edge, and minimum crowding Treatment: MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander) with braces
MSE
13-year-old female Chief complaint: “Jaw dysfunction and clicking bilaterally.” Initial: Constricted maxilla, severe crowding on maxilla and mandible with oversized mandibular premolars, blocked out canine, shifted midline on maxilla. Treatment: MSE (Maxillary Skeletal Expander) with braces
Early Intervention
8-year-old male Chief complaint: “Interested in an early prevention consultation.” Initial: Skeletal Class II, deep bite, anterior severe crowding on Mandible Treatment: Upper and lower expanders (RPE)
MARPE
36-year-old male Chief complaint: “I have a narrow palate and crowding of teeth. Concerned about airway.” Initial: Constricted maxilla, mild crowding with smaller lateral incisors on maxilla. Treatment: MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander) with braces
Brius
17-year-old male Chief complaint: “Having to wear invisible braces his senior year.” Initial: Mild crowding, shallower bite, midline discrepancy with unilateral posterior cross-bite Treatment: Brius (Invisible lingual braces)
Early Intervention
7-year-old male Chief complaint: “Concerned about crowding.” Initial: Skeletal Class III(underbite), edge to edge bite, moderate crowding with retained baby teeth Treatment: Bonded Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE)
Braces
12-year-old female Chief complaint: “I have a gap between upper and lower front teeth.” Initial: Mild crowding, anterior functional shift, excessive overbite and overjet with retained baby teeth Treatment: Braces
Braces with Implant
27-year-old male Chief complaint: “I want to manage the front space for placing an implant.” Initial: Congenitally missing upper right lateral and Pegg (smaller size) lateral incisors. Treatment: An implant placement and 3 incisal veneers after braces.
Maxillary skeletal expander (MSE)
13-year-old female Chief complaint: “I don’t like my front teeth, which are not straight.” Link: https://doi.org/10.1590/2177-6709.26.6.e2120114.oar Attachment: Maxillary protraction and vertical control utilizing skeletal anchorage for midfacial-maxillary deficiency Initial: Flattened cheeks, anterior crossbite, and moderate crowding Treatment: Maxillary palatal expander (MSE) with a facemask, followed by braces
