Customer Requests
I want to improve the fact that my teeth are large and rough, making them difficult to brush, and I also want to straighten out my crooked teeth as soon as possible.
Omotesando Sakurai Orthodontic Clinic's Proposal
The patient had a lot of looseness, and what's more, the teeth were buried in the gums, which is called "double teeth." By treating the patient early, it is possible to straighten the teeth without putting excessive strain on them by using the force of the teeth growing out. Therefore, we proposed to move the rear teeth back with a headgear, and align the teeth in the ideal position with labial wire orthodontics.
