Braces – before and after

Fixed braces can deal with almost any problem, from mild crowding to blocked-out canines and a deep bite. Here are treatments with metal and ceramic braces at iSmile, some of them combined with mini-implants, elastics, a bite plane or aligner refinement.

We only show photos of the teeth, with no faces or names. Results vary from patient to patient – every treatment plan is made after an examination.
