We call our aligner patients our partners because when they do their part and we do ours, we can create a life-changing smile.

Juan absolutely crushed his aligner and elastic wear to correct his underbite, align his midlines, and create a PRO smile he’s proud to show off! The best part? This transformation happened in just about one year.

Smile transformation in progress!

This Phase 1 case was completed in under 12 months using clear aligners.

Aligners offer a comfortable, hygienic, and discreet way to guide tooth movement while addressing bite and alignment early on.

Early intervention paired with consistent wear can make a significant difference in both function and overall smile development 😁

18 month PRO transformation

Braces were used to create more than just straight teeth. We focused on the details that define a PRO smile:

✅Balanced gingival symmetry
✅Expanded arch width
✅Fuller smile display
✅Centered midlines

These are the tenets of a PRO smile

Notice how the smile arc was transformed from a flat, straight arc before to one that now follows the natural curve of the lower lip.

This case highlights the power of starting orthodontic treatment early, when we can guide and influence growth rather than simply react to it.

Whether it’s braces or Invisalign, we can get you there!💫

Treating kids early can be essential for basic functions like speaking clearly, chewing comfortably, and sleeping with the lips closed. With today’s advancements in clear aligners, early treatment can be easier and more comfortable than ever.

In this case, we reduced protrusion through careful planning, posterior expansion, and correction of a Class II bite and deep overbite—all using aligners alone. The best part? He was able to eat his favorite foods, brush his teeth like a PRO, and complete treatment in fewer than 10 visits.

Before ➝ After ✨

This aligner case addressed more than just straightening teeth:

✔️Corrected a Class II bite by bringing the upper and lower jaws into harmony
✔️Expanded the upper and lower arches for improved function and balance
✔️Brought the upper teeth back into a more natural, functional position
✔️Reduced a deep bite so the teeth no longer overlapped excessively
✔️Centered the bite and midlines for proper alignment

Achieving a Class I bite in an adult with aligners is a big win!

While some orthodontists may recommend metal braces for cases like this, Dr. Owais is able to achieve these results with aligners through careful planning and advanced clinical skill.

This is what it means to achieve the PRO Smile. Healthy + balanced!
