Before vs After treatment
Explore six before-and-after orthodontic cases from AiCare Orthodontics. Compare changes in alignment and bite, and learn how treatment can benefit chewing, daily cleaning and smile appearance. Dr. Ai Huang provides personalized orthodontic care for patients in Fountain Valley and Irvine, California.


Crowding
- Before
- Several front teeth overlap or sit outside the surrounding row, creating an uneven appearance. Crowded areas can be harder to brush and floss thoroughly, allowing plaque to collect.
- After
- The front teeth form a more even row with less overlap, giving the smile a more balanced appearance. Straighter alignment can make daily brushing and flossing easier, supporting tooth and gum health.


Deep bite
- Before
- The upper front teeth cover much of the lower front teeth when the teeth are together. Excessive overlap can contribute to uneven tooth wear and, in some cases, irritation where teeth contact the gums.
- After
- More of the lower front teeth is visible, with less vertical overlap and a more balanced-looking smile. Reducing excessive overlap can help limit uneven wear from tooth contact.


Open bite
- Before
- A gap remains between the upper and lower front teeth when the back teeth are together. An open bite can make it difficult to bite through food with the front teeth.
- After
- The front gap is no longer visible in this view, and the upper and lower front teeth meet more closely. Closing an open bite can make biting into food easier and create a more even-looking smile.


Invisalign treatment
- Before
- The side view shows spaces between parts of the upper and lower rows of teeth. When teeth do not meet evenly, they may be less effective at biting and chewing.
- After
- The side view shows the upper and lower teeth fitting more closely together. Improved tooth contact can help the teeth work together more effectively during chewing.


Class III without surgery
- Before
- The lower front teeth sit ahead of the upper front teeth in this view. This reversed bite can make biting and chewing harder and contribute to uneven tooth wear.
- After
- The upper front teeth sit slightly ahead of the lower front teeth, with a more even alignment. Correcting a reversed bite can help the front teeth work together more effectively when biting into food.


Crowding
- Before
- From above, several lower front teeth overlap and turn inward or outward. These hard-to-reach areas can trap plaque and food, making everyday cleaning more challenging.
- After
- The lower front teeth follow a smoother curve, with less overlap and rotation. This more even alignment can make it easier to clean around each tooth and along the gumline.
