Smile Gallery

Here at Orthodontics of Burien, our top priority is to provide our patients with the highest level of orthodontic care that will produce the best results possible for that specific patient. Along with his skilled team, our Seattle orthodontist Dr. Jorge Peralta offers a variety of orthodontic treatments including metal braces, ceramic clear braces and Invisalign clear aligners. We take great pride in helping our patients achieve and maintain the straight, healthy and beautiful smiles they have always wanted.

Below are some before and after images of some of Dr. Peralta’s actual patients, showing you the results of both comprehensive and interceptive treatment as well as treatment completed with the use of jaw surgery and Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs).

Comprehensive Treatment

  • Comprehensive Treatment: Felicitas started with a Class III dental malocclusion with bilateral posterior crossbites as well as bilateral posterior open bites. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all crossbites and open bites corrected. She now has a beautiful, full smile as well as a healthy bite.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Wolf presented with a Class II Div I dental malocclusion with severely protruded and proclined upper teeth. He also presented with a deep bite. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion with proper OJ and OB.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Tiera presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with moderate/severe spacing in between her front teeth. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all spaces relieved and proper OJ and OB.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Sasha presented with a Class II Div II dental malocclusion with a severe deep bite. She also had severe crowding which prevented her canines from erupting. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with proper OJ and OB. Treatment was done non-extraction in order to preserve her profile.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Saba presented with a Class II Div I dental malocclusion with moderate protrusion of her upper incisors. She also had moderate maxillary spacing as well as moderate mandibular crowding. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all spaces consolidated and crowding relieved.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Newal presented with a Class II Div I dental malocclusion. Her upper teeth protruded ahead of her lower teeth significantly. She also complained of a narrow smile. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with proper OJ and OB, a nice broad smile and her midlines now coincide.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Miriam presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with mild spacing in the upper arch as well as a posterior crossbite on the left side. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all spaces consolidated and her crossbites corrected.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Millissa presented with a severe deepbite with upper spacing as well as lower crowding. She finished with a wonderful result with the deepbite corrected as well as all spaces consolidated and the crowding relieved.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Domenica presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with spacing in the upper arch as well as crowding in the lower arch. She finished with a nicely developed Class I dental occlusion with a full smile and a healthy bite.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Diana presented with a Class II dental malocclusion with moderate crowding in both arches. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with proper OJ and OB.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Dan presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with moderate/severe crowding. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all crowding relieved and the midlines now coincide.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Emile presented with a Class II dental malocclusion with a severe deepbite (collapsed bite) and a maxillary cant to the left. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion with the deepbite alleviated as well as the maxillary cant corrected.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Kirsten presented with a Class II Div I dental malocclusion with severe OJ and her midlines did not line up. Her upper lateral incisor was smaller than normal. After treatment, she finished with a Class I occlusion and her midlines coincided. Her lateral incisor was built up to blend in nicely with the anterior esthetic zone.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Anthony presented with a Class II dental malocclusion with a severe deepbite and moderate upper and lower crowding. His upper teeth were also tipped back. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion with the deep bite and crowding corrected.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Eligio presented with a full step Class II dental malocclusion. As can be seen from the photos, his upper canines were completely blocked out of the upper arch. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion and the canines were brought into the arch without the need of extractions. This was done to preserve a balance profile and smile.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Solie presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with an anterior open bite. She also had blocked out upper canines. Solie's open bite was closed and the upper canines were brought into the arch without extractions. This was done in order to preserve her facial profile.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Holly presented with a Class I dental malocclusion with primarily lower crowding that was pushing her lower incisor forward and causing it to be in crossbite. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all crossbites corrected and great arch development.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Karen presented with a Class I dental malocclusion. She was primarily a detailing case in order to properly develop her aches and to alleviate her crowding in both arches. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all crowding and alleviated and good arch development.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Connor presented with a bilateral Class III dental malocclusion with an anterior open bite. He was treated with orthodontic camouflage (extraction of lower 1st bicuspids) in order to establish a good bite. He finished with a Class I canine relationship, Class III molar.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Brianna presented with a Class II dental malocclusion with moderate upper and lower crowding. She also had a posterior and anterior crossbite. She finished with a Class I dental occlusion with all crossbites corrected.

Interceptive Treatment

  • Interceptive Treatment: Gino had an open bite and insufficient space for his lateral teeth to erupt. He began Interceptive treatment and was given a palatal expander and a lower expander. This allowed both arches to develop and to allow sufficient space for the permanent teeth to erupt and to assist in closing his bite.
  • Interceptive Treatment: Gianna underwent Interceptive treatment with an upper and lower expander in order to develop both arches and to alleviate crowding as well as to allow sufficient space for the permanents to erupt. No braces were used.
  • Interceptive Treatment: Elliot presented with moderate crowding in both arches. The insufficient space resulted in preventing his permanent teeth from erupting. He underwent Interceptive treatment with a palatal expander as well as a lower expander in order to create space for the permanent teeth to erupt. Braces were not used in this case.
  • Interceptive Treatment: Declan presented with moderate crowding in both arches as well as a narrow smile. He underwent Interceptive treatment and was given a palatal expander as well as a lower expander. This allowed sufficient space for the permanents to erupt and for his arches to naturally develop into a full broad smile. Braces were not used in this case.
  • Interceptive Treatment: Camryn initially presented with moderate crowding. She underwent Interceptive treatment with an upper palatal expander as well as a lower expander to assist in accommodating the permanent teeth. Braces were not used in this case.
  • Interceptive Treatment: Aisha initially presented with protruded upper incisors. She underwent Interceptive treatment with a simple retainer and the protrusion was corrected. No braces were needed in order to correct the patient's chief complaint.

Orthognathic/Jaw Surgery and TADs

  • Orthognathic/Jaw Surgery: Mike had a Class III dental malocclusion with an anterior and posterior crossbite. He underwent Orthognathic Surgery (maxillary advancement) in order to correct the crossbites as well as his mid-face deficiency. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion and he shows significantly more incisor display upon smiling.
  • Orthognathic/Jaw Surgery: Nathan presented with a Class III dental malocclusion with a posterior crossbite on the left. In order to balance Nathan's profile and to alleviate the crossbite, Nathan had orthognathic surgery (lower jaw was surgically retracted). He now has a Class I dental occlusion with all crossbites relieved.
  • Orthognathic/Jaw Surgery: Kyle presented with a Class III dental malocclusion with an anterior crossbite. He finished with a Class I dental occlusion with proper OJ and OB. Treatment was completed non-surgically and with the use of TADs (temporary anchorage devices).
