Omotesando Sakurai Orthodontic Clinic's Proposal
Because the tongue was sticking out, I proposed to train the tongue while lowering the upper and lower teeth to create a good bite for the front teeth. I used lingual orthodontics to treat the patient without being noticed, and placed dummy teeth in the extracted areas to make the treatment less noticeable.
