Your teeth when snack time turns into a full-on attack! 😂🦷

Chocolate, gummies, lollipops, soda, and chips might be delicious, but frequent sugary and starchy snacks, along with acidic drinks, can increase the risk of tooth decay.

The good news? You don’t have to give up your favorite treats! Just be mindful of how often you snack, drink plenty of water, and keep up with brushing and flossing.

A little reminder from Forever Smiles Orthodontics: your teeth deserve some love, too! 💙

A missing tooth at a young age requires careful planning - especially when an implant may be part of the future treatment.

This patient began orthodontic treatment at 13 to align the surrounding teeth and create and maintain the proper space for a future implant.

After 24 months, treatment was completed with proper alignment and adequate space for tooth replacement.

We will now provide a Hawley retainer with a prosthetic tooth to temporarily replace the missing tooth and maintain the space until the patient reaches age 21 and is ready for an implant.

Orthodontics can be an important first step in preparing for a future implant and creating the right foundation for the final result.

Busy college schedule? Your orthodontic treatment can fit into it, too 🎓

Our 20-year-old patient started treatment with a deep overbite, where the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. When left uncorrected, a deep overbite can contribute to excessive tooth wear, damage to the gums or lower teeth, and increased stress on the jaw and bite.

Treatment was completed with Invisalign® clear aligners and elastics to straighten the teeth and correct the bite while keeping treatment discreet and comfortable.

After 23 months, treatment was completed with proper alignment, a functional and healthy bite, and a confident smile! Correcting the bite not only improves the appearance of the face and smile but also helps support better oral function and protect the teeth from being damaged for the long term.

For many young adults, Invisalign can be a convenient option - as long as the aligners and elastics are worn consistently as instructed.

Anyone who develops more than 20 primary teeth or more than 32 permanent teeth has a condition called hyperdontia.

It’s most often detected during childhood, especially between ages 6-12, when permanent teeth are starting to come in.

Extra teeth don’t always cause problems, but they can:
• delay or block a permanent tooth
• cause crowding or spacing
• move nearby teeth out of position
• stay hidden under the gums

Treatment depends on the case. Extra teeth may simply be monitored or removed if they interfere with normal eruption. Orthodontic treatment may then be needed to guide the affected teeth into the right position.

That’s why noticing unusual eruption patterns early matters. An orthodontic evaluation can determine whether extra teeth need to be monitored or treated.

And remember: the first orthodontic checkup is recommended around age 7!

This 17-year-old patient started treatment with a narrow upper jaw, crowded teeth, and an underbite.

A narrow upper jaw can mean there isn’t enough space for all the teeth to fit properly, which can contribute to crowding and affect how the upper and lower teeth come together. In this case, the jaw relationship also affected the smile and facial profile.

➡️➡️➡️➡️

Treatment started with an upper expander to widen the jaw and create the needed space, followed by braces and elastics to straighten the teeth and correct the bite.

After 29 months, treatment was completed with proper alignment, a healthy, functional bite, and an absolutely gorgeous, wide smile ✨

Tom Cruise’s smile looked very different early in his career.

Older photos show crowding, uneven alignment, and noticeable bite asymmetry.

In 2002, just before turning 40, he was spotted wearing clear braces. His representative confirmed the orthodontic treatment was meant to improve his bite, and Cruise said his mouth “wasn’t closing properly.”

After treatment, his teeth appeared straighter and his smile more balanced.

But one detail is still noticeable: his dental midline is off-center. The center of his upper teeth doesn’t perfectly match the center of his face.

A good reminder that orthodontics isn’t always about perfect symmetry. Bite, function, alignment, and facial balance all matter.

And yes, adults can get braces too.

Sometimes, correcting an overbite requires addressing both the teeth and the jaws.

This 31-year-old patient presented with an overbite that required both orthodontic and surgical correction.

➡️➡️➡️➡️

Treatment combined braces with lower jaw advancement surgery to correct the jaw relationship, establish a proper bite, and improve the facial profile.

➡️➡️➡️➡️

In this case, surgery was needed because braces alone could not correct the underlying jaw discrepancy. However, not every overbite requires surgery – treatment depends on whether the issue comes from the teeth, the jaws, or both.

➡️➡️➡️➡️

After 20 months, treatment was completed with proper alignment, a functional bite, and a beautiful, healthy smile! ✨
