Patient Transformations

Adult Patient With Incorrectly Placed Braces
This case illustrates the difference between how we at Molen Orthodontics position braces versus how traditional orthodontists treat cases.

The dramatic change in her bite after just 12 months indicates that she was never a surgical case in the first place.
