This type of treatment comes in many shapes and sizes. The most common examples are simple cases that require minimal time such as slight crowding or space, and for patients who have had some slight shifting after loss of a retainer.

This can also be in the form of correction orthodontics. This could be where a patient received orthodontics not under the direct supervision of an specialist, an orthodontist, and had a poor outcome. This also can be in the case where an injury or abnormal growth pattern has led to a change in the bite that may not have been predictable.

Another common form is working with your dentist and dental team to prepare for dental work and restorations such as implants. Sometimes small quick movements in teeth can help gain more or better bone. This can also help get better positioning for crowns, bridges and implants for function, longevity and esthetics.
