🦷✨ Transformation Tuesday: Kalli Edition
Ever seen a smile where the front teeth tuck backward instead of sitting in their ideal position? Dentists call this retroclined (or “tucked-in”) front teeth — and we see it more often than you might think!
🔶 Upper front teeth tilted inward, tucked behind where they should sit
🔶 Crowded upper teeth
🔶 A bite pattern that needed careful correction and ongoing monitoring
Here’s how we transformed Kalli’s smile:
📌 A full set of braces to safely guide her teeth into their ideal positions
📌 A fixed spring appliance to help correct her bite. This spring worked continuously behind the scenes, applying gentle, steady pressure to guide her bite into better alignment — without relying on removable appliances or remembering rubber bands
📌 Panoramic X-rays every 6 months to keep a close eye on those upper front teeth, since retroclined teeth can be more susceptible to root resorption during orthodontic movement
📌 Steady, intentional adjustments throughout her 24 months of treatment, all tailored to the specific needs of her smile
Every transformation is different — and every treatment plan is designed not just to create a beautiful smile, but to protect the teeth and bite for the long haul. 💛

We kid, we kid... but seriously, flossing is one of the absolute most important habits for keeping your teeth healthy while wearing braces. 😅

If you're in braces, we get it... getting floss under those wires can feel like a whole project. But flossing with braces is one of the best things you can do to protect your teeth (and your treatment!). Food and plaque love to hide around brackets, and skipping it can mean cavities, swollen gums, or stains you really don't want to see when the braces come off.

☀️The fix: a floss threader or orthodontic flosser makes it so much easier to get under the wire. A water flosser is a great shortcut too if you want something faster. Two minutes a day now saves you a lot of extra dentist chair time later. Your future smile will thank you. 🦷✨

Have questions about the best way to floss with your braces? Ask us at your next visit... we love a good flossing demo!

Transformation Tuesday ✨ Meet Anna!

This smile got a little extra room to shine! We used upper braces to gently close unwanted spacing while widening the upper jaw to create a broader, more balanced smile. 🦷🙌

This is only the beginning of Anna's smile journey... but we are already obsessed with how confident and cute her "after" smile looks.

💛 Phase One lays the groundwork, and we cannot wait to see where treatment takes her next.

Gaps between teeth are some of the most common reasons kids start orthodontic treatment early... and Phase One is often the first step toward a healthy, lasting smile.

Thinking it might be time for your child's first orthodontic visit? We would love to see you at one of our Johnson City, Bristol, or Norton offices.

🥊 Alphabet Showdown: Dr. Sturgill vs. Dr. Williams
I think we really stumped them with that last one 😂

In a rapid fire head to head competition, do these two docs REALLY know their stuff? (spoiler alert: one of them definitely does 😏)
A to Z. No warning. Who can spit out an orthodontic term the fastest?

One orthodontist left with trophy energy. The other left with... a lot of confidence for someone who lost that badly. 😂
We love keeping them on their toes. What should be their next challenge?

🍪 Braces off day for Emmy hit a little different!

She walked out with a brand new smile...but walked IN with a box of Crumbl cookies for her favorite cheerleaders Sam and Sammy. 🥹

That's what happens when you spend months (okay, a couple years) building real relationships with your orthodontist's office. Tightening. Banding. Laughing between appointments. By the end, our team isn't just adjusting brackets, we're cheering you on like family.

🎉Congrats on the new smile, girl! And to the sweetest patient ever...we hope those cookies were half as good as this moment felt. 🧡

Ready for your own braces off day?

🔶 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🔶
Meet Sophie! ✨
Can you fix crowded teeth without a palate expander? For the right smile, yes!
📌 Sophie's case, broken down:
🔶 Jaw width: already right where it needed to be
🔶 The real issue: crowding caused by narrow arches, not a narrow jaw
🔶 The fix: lateral development wires... specialized archwires that gently widen the dental arch itself, no RPE needed
🔶 Treatment: one phase, braces and rubber bands only 🎉

Here's the part we love explaining to parents: not every narrow smile needs rapid palatal expansion. Lateral development wires create extra room to correct crowding and align crowded teeth, but they do it straight from the archwire, using gentle continuous outward pressure instead of an external expansion device. If your kiddo has adequate jaw width but just needs a bit more width in their smile, this might be exactly the plan Dr. Sturgill and our team would build for them.

It's one of the quieter ways we tailor treatment to the individual arch instead of defaulting to the same appliance for everyone. Every smile's different, so every plan should be too. 🧡

Wondering if your child needs an expander, or if their crowding might respond to something simpler? Give us a call at 423-282-2333, we'd love to take a look!

🤦‍♂️10+ years of clinical orthodontic experience, being a Board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics (a distinction only a fraction of orthodontists ever earn), and an Assistant Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University who is full of knowledge to share... and all the internet wants is a good glove snap.

Hey, we’re just living in the algorithm's world. 🤷‍♀️
Either way, glad you're here.
Consults are always free, so call us maybe.

🦷✨ TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY ✨🦷
Meet Alexandria... and let this be your reminder that it's NEVER too late for a healthy, confident smile 💛
Alexandria came to us with:�
🔹 Severe crowding, zero room for 2 of her top teeth (just look at that video!)�
🔹 A significantly constricted upper jaw�
🔹 A bite that couldn't come together (she was chewing on just TWO molars!)
Her treatment plan:�
✅ Extraction of 2 teeth�
✅ RPE (rapid palatal expansion)
✅Braces to align her smile.

She started treatment at 14, with most of her adult teeth already in... and just look at her now?! This transformation is AMAZING😍 We are so proud of you, Alexandria!!

If you think your teen has "missed the window" for orthodontic treatment... think again. It is never too late to invest in a smile this healthy AND this beautiful.
Call us to schedule a free consultation!
