Not every aligner case is simple. This one wasn’t. 💪
Significant crowding, a high canine, midline discrepancy — this is the kind of case that many providers would turn away or refer out. We treated it in-house with clear aligners and got a result we’re proud of.
Here’s the thing most people don’t know: aligners are only as good as the doctor using them. The trays don’t straighten teeth — the treatment plan does. Knowing how to design a plan that accounts for root position, occlusion, arch development, and tooth movement physics — that’s orthodontic knowledge. That’s what separates a great aligner result from a disappointing one.
Dr. Standridge has spent years studying orthodontics at a level most general dentists never pursue. That investment shows up in cases like this. 👆
If you’ve been told your case is “too complex” for aligners — or if you’ve had a bad experience elsewhere — we’d love to take a look.

Check out this amazing before-and-after case! This young patient came to us with an anterior open bite and narrow arches. Instead of jumping straight to braces, Dr. Standridge started treatment with a myofunctional trainer. By using the trainer just 1 hour a day and wearing it while sleeping, we:

✅ Closed the open bite
✅ Broadened the dental arches
✅ Improved breathing—her dad says she doesn’t snore anymore!

This transformation goes beyond teeth. By retraining the muscles of the face, tongue, and lips, we unlocked her natural growth potential.

Does your child experience:
❓ Snoring or mouth breathing?
❓ Teeth grinding?
❓ Bedwetting?
❓ Night terrors?
❓ Hyperactivity, ADHD-like symptoms, or difficulty concentrating?
❓ Restless sleep or waking up tired?

These could be signs of sleep-disordered breathing or early airway issues. Myofunctional therapy is a powerful tool to address these concerns, helping improve airway health while supporting proper growth and development.

Orthodontics isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s about optimizing function, airway health, and overall well-being.

If any of these sound familiar, let’s talk about how we can help your child achieve healthier, happier sleep, a functional bite, and a beautiful smile! 🦷💤

Most people think crooked teeth are the problem. Often, it’s the bite. 🎯
This patient had a significant deep bite — upper teeth so far over the lowers that the lower teeth had almost nowhere to go. Every chew, every bite, every day — that pressure was building up somewhere it shouldn’t be.
Our orthodontic expert Dr. Matthew Standridge treated it with clear aligners in 16 months. No braces, no extractions, no surgery — just precise, planned tooth movement that gave this bite the room it needed.
Look at that after. That’s a healthy, functioning bite. 🙌
If your teeth overlap heavily, wear unevenly, or you’ve been told you clench or grind — your bite may be the culprit. Come find out!

The culmination of dental implants and cosmetic smile design coming together for the ultimate end result! 🙂

Just look at how the smile changed! This patient did not want her full face shown but man I wish I could! How she smiles with her eyes now is just….wow.

This case was a referral from a fellow dentist, Cam Clifford DDS. I am always honored when my colleagues trust me to care for their patients and friends.

All upper teeth removed and replaced with dental implants and a full arch zirconia bridge.

Lower arch the patient elected to wait on removing the remaining lower teeth and do a lower removable partial.

Couldn’t be more pleased with how this case turned out!

Dr. Francis did the surgery and worked together with Dr. Matthew Standridge on this case for lab work and smile design. Great teamwork.

As always we are here to answer any questions on how to improve your smile 🙂

Your bite is destroying your teeth — and you might not even know it. 😬
This is a deep bite. The upper front teeth were completely overlapping the lowers, creating constant traumatic pressure on the gum tissue and underlying bone. Left untreated, the damage compounds over years — leading to wear, chipping, and breakdown that’s expensive to fix.
Dr. Standridge corrected this in 14 months with clear aligners. The results speak for themselves!
