Will
Name: Will
Age:
Occupation:
Address:
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics
7 year old Will has a cross bite that is causing a lot of pressure on his adult lower front tooth.
This is pushing it forward out of the bone and causing it to become wobbly, risking losing it.
Dealing with Will’s bite and correcting his teeth now will save him losing his lower adult teeth.
Charlotte
Name: Charlotte
Age:
Occupation:
Address:
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics
Charlotte presented with extra adult teeth.
We often see these cases, and early treatment meant the extra tooth was removed so that the rest of her teeth can naturally grow and shuffle into the correct position
Lucas
Name: Lucass
Age:
Occupation:
Address:
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics
Lucas was sent in by his concerned dentist. Both the dentist and his parents had been wondering where his other front tooth was.
An x-ray revealed and extra tooth that has blocked the adult tooth from coming down, and the adult tooth was impacted at the base of his nose.
The extra tooth was removed, and a brace was glued to the deeply buried adult tooth so it could be grown into position.
Jack
Name: Jack
Age:
Occupation:
Address:
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics
Jack parents were worried about his bite.
Mum has the same bite and has already had a few consults with a surgeon to correct it by breaking her jaw. She has brought 8 year old jack in to get the treatment she never had as a kid, so that he wouldn’t end up in the same situation as her now.
Jack was treated with a plate for 9 months to help grow his jaw and correct his bite
Brad
Name: Brad
Age:
Occupation:
Address:
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics
Brad’s parents were worried about his bite. When he bit his teeth together, his bottom jaw was in front of his top teeth. Brad is one of the reasons orthodontist want to have a quick look at kids from 8 years old. We really hope everything is developing normally, but know that some problems are a lot easier to manage early.
The type of bite Brad has only affects a small part of the population. Fortunately Brad’s parents brought him in at 8 years of age. Much later, and the bones we stretched to correct his bite would have fused, leaving us with no alternative other than to wait until he grew up so a surgeon could surgically re-position his jaw as a young adult.
In Brad’s case he came in early and we could correct his bite with a plate in 6-12 months
