Svetlana
Svetlana initially had a small upper jaw, a full cross-bite of the front and back teeth, and severe dental crowding. Notice how the upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth. Dr. Pellegrini treated Svetlana by widening the upper arch and just 20 months of braces. By widening the upper arch, Dr. Pellegrini was able to bring Svetlana’s teeth out of cross-bite and treat Svetlana without the removal or extraction of teeth. Note the fuller smile and facial changes that were achieved.

Zinnia
Zinnia first came to Dr. Pellegrini with very severe crowding and protruding front teeth. Because of the crowding, the canine teeth were forced to come into the sides and into a cross-bite relationship. Some of her front teeth were being worn excessively because of her improper occlusion, or ‘bite.’ Dr. Pellegrini treated Zinnia with fixed braces for 24 months. She loves her new smile and now has a much healthier bite.
-
Lance
Lance came to Dr. Pellegrini with 3 missing back teeth and crowded/protruding front teeth. Notice how much the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth in the ‘before’ photo and how much they change after treatment. Dr. Pellegrini was able to use the spaces from the missing teeth to resolve the crowding and reduce the protrusion, and avoid Lance having to have dental implants to replace the missing teeth. Dr. Pellegrini provided Lance with an even, balanced bite which is healthier, easier to clean that looks fantastic. Lance’s treatment time was 24 months, and he now has a much brighter, fuller smile.

Olga
Olga first came to the orthodontist complaining of the fact that she had to force herself to show her upper teeth when smiling, as shown in this photograph. She had blocked out teeth and a partial cross-bite. Dr. Pellegrini was able to transform her smile through 20 months of braces. Note the more relaxed, balanced and fuller smile and the positive facial changes that were achieved.
-
Jamie
Jamie came to the orthodontist with significant crowding. The canine teeth were completely blocked, and forced to come in on the sides because of the lack of space. In 22 months of braces, Dr. Pellegrini was able to give Jamie her fantastic new smile. Notice how Dr. Pellegrini was able to correct the position of and guide the canine teeth which are important for not only aesthetics but also function.
-
Dan
Dan is a dentist who was desiring not only aesthetic, but also functional enhancement to his smile and bite. Dr. Pellegrini treated Dr. Dan with ‘invisible’ (aesthetic braces) in less than 12 months. Dr. Pellegrini has treated several doctors and dentists, and it is the highest compliment when other health care providers entrust Pellegrini Orthodontics with their orthodontic care.

Jaspar
Jasper started with crowding of the lower teeth and narrow arches; Dr. Pellegrini treated Jasper with braces in just 11 months. Jasper is a talented musician and a fantastic young man. He is off to New York's Pratt Institute with his new smile!
-
Tiarah
Tiarah started with a deep overbite (overlap) of the front teeth and excessive overjet. Dr. Pellegrini treated Tiarah with clear (ceramic) braces along with 'turbos' to help speed up her treatment. What a difference and only 11 months of braces!
-
Madison
Madison intially had a deep overbite, and an asymmetric (tilted/uneven) smile line. Dr. Pellegrini was able to create Madison's beautiful smile with 15 months of full braces. Note the improvement in the overbite and the even, symmetric smile. Madison is a competitive cheerleader and her smile is something to cheer about!
