Perfection was never the goal, progress was.
In a growing patient, dento-facial orthodontics gave us a window to guide asymmetry, not erase it. This is where it differs from mere orthodontics, it is not just about aligning teeth, but about influencing growth, function, and facial balance itself. What you see here isn’t a perfect face, but a better directed growth, improved balance, and a more stable foundation. Because timing matters, what we can influence during growth we often can’t fully recreate later.

Not flawless, but still evolving.
With growth ongoing, asymmetry remains a moving target. Improved function, especially a more balanced chewing pattern, may continue to refine the outcome over time. Not guaranteed, but biologically plausible. Orthodontics aligns teeth, dento-facial orthodontics works with biology.

Nb: The patient declined to continue settling the occlusion.

Stop calling everything “orthodontics”..

Straight teeth alone are not the standard. If occlusion is compromised, the treatment is incomplete.

This is where conventional orthodontics stops and dentofacial orthodontics begins.

In our experience managing failed or compromised orthodontic cases, the same pattern appears: ignored anchorage, unstable occlusion, and lack of dento-skeletal control.

Uncontrolled molar movement. Bite shifts. Compromised function masked by straight teeth.
That is not success. That is camouflage.

In this case, molars were moved forward using TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) with full anchorage control, preserving jaw occlusion.

Managed by a clinician with a formal Master’s degree (MSc, Distinction) in Dento-Facial Orthodontics, UK, trained specifically in this field.

Not every orthodontic result is a functional result..

This is not orthodontic. This is dento-facial orthodontics.

With us, treatment goes beyond simply straightening teeth, it is about creating harmony between teeth, jaws, and the overall facial profile. In borderline cases like this, decisions such as extraction or non-extraction are carefully evaluated not only for alignment, but for their long-term impact on facial balance and stability. Led by a head dentist with an MSc with Distinction in dento-facial orthodontics from the UK, we create a bespoke smile for every patient, designed to complement your face, function naturally, and remain stable for years to come.

NB:Caries treatment has been discussed and planned.

Partial Braces

Mesialisation in orthodontics is more than simply “closing space.”

It is a carefully controlled biomechanical movement where posterior teeth are guided forward into a desired position with precision and respect for periodontal health.

Unlike retraction mechanics, mesialisation requires thoughtful anchorage planning, controlled force systems, and constant monitoring of root position and occlusion.

Every millimeter matters , not only for alignment, but for long-term stability and function.
Orthodontics is not about moving teeth quickly.
It is about moving them correctly.

This smile didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of careful planning, consistent care, and a patient’s commitment. Every step counts. ✨ Do it right with us.

At TDS Dental, our first immediate implant placement in an active infection site was performed in 2022, marking a milestone that redefined our clinical approach. The result speaks for itself: this implant remains fully functional until today, with clear corticalisation visible on the 1-year follow-up X-ray. Even when the adjacent 47 failed, this implant continues to stand strong. At that time, many questioned the biological feasibility of such a procedure. Today, we are proud to be the first in Indonesia to successfully perform immediate implant placement in an active infection site, proving that with the right protocol and a deep understanding of biology, the boundaries of dentistry can be redefined."
