THE ACTUAL RESULTS

The change in this patient's bite.

Before treatment, the upper and lower front teeth did not meet when biting down. These photographs show the patient's bite before and after orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery.

BEHIND THE TREATMENT

The plan before treatment began.

Before treatment started, Dr Zack used digital planning tools to explore how this patient's teeth and bite could change. These simulations show the starting condition and the projected result, giving you a look at what the treatment was working toward.

Side-view simulation

These images are digital treatment simulations created before treatment began, not photographs of the actual outcome. Simulations help with planning but do not guarantee a particular result.
