Real Orthodontic Stories
Orthodontic treatment is rarely just about appearance. For many patients, it begins after years of adapting to discomfort or struggling with bite problems that affect daily life.
Every patient who walks into Dr.
Cramer’s office brings a different set of concerns, goals, and life experiences with them. These before and after cases reflect the thoughtful planning and problem solving approach Dr. Cramer uses to create treatment plans personalized for you rather than a standard formula.
When Jaw Surgery Felt Inevitable
One college student came to Dr. Cramer after being told jaw surgery was likely the only way to correct her bite. Because her front teeth did not touch properly, excessive pressure was being placed on her back teeth every time she chewed.
Rather than immediately moving toward surgery, Dr. Cramer developed a carefully planned orthodontic approach to improve the way her teeth fit together over time. By the end of treatment, she achieved a healthy, balanced bite without the need for jaw surgery.
