BRACES
-Braces
-15 years old
-Severe crowding, constricted upper arch, narrow lower arch, crossbites,
bimaxillary protrusion
-Patient had four first bicuspids extracted
-Dr. Cucalon moved teeth out to proper symmetry, monitored elastic wear
throughout treatment, eliminated crowding, corrected crossbites
-Patient saw significant changes in occlusion and profile
-Braces
-16 years old
-Complete anterior open bite, slight underbite tendency
narrow upper arch, bilateral crossbites
-Patient had lower first bicuspids extracted
-Dr. Cucalon retracted lower incisors to eliminate lower anterior crossbite,
constricted lower mandible, expanded upper jaw, corrected posterior (back)
crossbite, corrected underbite and anterior open bite
-Braces
-12 years old
-Overjet, overbite, spacing throughout, bimaxillary protrusion (upper lips too far
forward with respect to nose and chin)
-Dr. Cucalon closed spaces and moved upper teeth back with built-in headgear,
expander, and elastics
-Braces
-13 years old
-Cuspids too high and lacking room, deep bite (cannot see lower incisors), upper
and lower crowding, upper front teeth tipped back towards roof of mouth
-Dr. Cucalon used anterior bite opening mechanics and elastics; brought upper
cuspids down into proper alignment, eliminated crowding on lower arch,
increased distance between upper and lower front teeth; paralleled roots;
moved anterior roots into proper alignment for long-term stability
-Phase I, Braces
-10 years old
-Significant anterior open bite, spaces
-Dr. Cucalon expanded upper jaw, consolidated open spaces, closed bite
-Phase II, Braces
-14 years old
-Class II bite, spaces, permanent teeth alignment
-Braces, Phase I
-8 years old
-Severe crowding, constricted upper and lower jaws, significant overjet,
severe overbite, severe rotations, mixed dentition treatment - combination of
permanent and primary teeth
-Patient wore built-in and lower lingual arch expanders
-Dr. Cucalon expanded jaw transversally, rotated teeth, eliminated severe
crowding, corrected bite
-Braces, Phase I
-9 years old
-Lower jaw skeletal deficiency, Class II severe overjet due to short lower jaw
-Patient wore Herbst appliance for 12 months
-Dr. Cucalon advanced lower jaw during this phase of treatment
-Patient saw positive change in lower jaw position and
superior well-balanced profile
-Braces + orthognathic surgery
-36 years old
-Lower front teeth ahead of upper front teeth, lower jaw skeletally protruding,
lower crowding, lower jaw (mandible) too wide or expanded,
constricted (narrow) maxilla (upper jaw)
-Patient had orthognathic surgery which included mandibular setback
-Dr. Cucalon eliminated crowding, aligned arches
-Patient saw reduction of profile and a fuller smile
-Braces
-14 years old
-Open bite, ostensive crowding, strong lower jaw, underbite tendency
-Patient had four bicuspids extracted, upper transpalatal arch
-Dr. Cucalon moved lower jaw back while maintaining position of upper jaw,
closed open bite, corrected underbite
-Braces and orthognathic surgery
-Began at 14 years old
-Our awesome patient that we'll miss. Good luck with college!
INVISALIGN
-Invisalign
-32 years old
Generalized spacing, open bite - upper and lower front teeth do not touch,
significant overjet - horizontal distance between upper and lower front teeth
-Dr. Cucalon closed spaces, moved upper teeth back, brought upper and
lower front teeth together in a vertical direction, closed anterior open bite
-Invisalign
-32 years old

relationship to the lower front teeth; generalized lower spacing
-Dr. Cucalon corrected bite, closed spaces
-Invisalign
-44 years old

their lower counterparts, severe upper and lower arch crowding, upper left tooth
protruding, midlines severely misaligned

lower crowding, upper anteriors are "flared"

lower rotations, closed anterior open bite

-39 years old
-Appearance and crowding of upper and lower front teeth, misaligned bite,
