Before I think about straightening your teeth, I want to know:

How do you sleep? • How do you breathe? • How do you chew? • Is your palate narrow? • Are your teeth crowded? • Is there tooth wear? • Where does your tongue rest? • Is your tongue scalloped? • Do you have a crossbite?

Because orthodontics should be about more than straight teeth — it should be about airway, function, growth, and the relationship between the jaws.

Teeth follow the jaws. If the jaws are deficient, simply moving the teeth often cannot produce an ideal, stable result. Diagnosis—not mechanics—is the foundation of successful orthodontic treatment. This was not simply a ‘crooked teeth’ case. This was a patient with maxillary hypoplasia resulting in a skeletal malocclusion. Orthodontic tooth movement alone cannot correct an underdeveloped upper jaw. The nasal breathing will be improved with Marpe so the occlusion and profile appearance . , ,

Not every orthodontic problem is a braces problem.

This 17-year-old patient came to my office seeking a second opinion after spending 3 years in braces with limited improvement. He had been told that the lack of progress was due to inconsistent elastic wear.

While elastics are an important part of orthodontic treatment, they cannot correct an underlying skeletal discrepancy.When the upper jaw is underdeveloped, braces can align the teeth, but they cannot create skeletal growth or reposition the jaws. In these situations, treatment may require orthopedic growth modification in growing patients, skeletal expansion, or orthognathic surgery once growth is complete.

This case highlights an important principle:

➡️ Braces move teeth.
➡️ Orthopedic treatment influences jaw development.
➡️ Skeletal problems require skeletal solutions.

This isn’t about assigning blame. Orthodontic treatment is complex, and every case should be periodically re-evaluated when expected progress is not occurring. The most important step is making the correct diagnosis so patients understand all of their treatment options. , , ,
