From Crowded and Worn to Confident and Healthy: Betty’s Clear Aligner Transformation
The Challenge:
Betty had been self-conscious about her smile for decades. Crowded, crooked teeth made daily hygiene difficult and had contributed to periodontal disease. To make matters worse, her deep bite was wearing down her front teeth and compromising both function and esthetics. She finally decided it was time for a change—but only if it could be done in a way that protected her long-term health.
The Options:
During her consultation at Raleigh Dental Arts, we started with a deep “catch-up” cleaning to stabilize her gum health. Then, we discussed treatment options to correct her bite and improve her smile. Clear aligner therapy was the clear winner—minimally invasive, effective, and perfect for achieving the functional, esthetic result Betty was looking for.
The Transformation:
Over the next 18 months, Betty’s teeth gradually shifted into a healthier, more balanced position. Her front teeth no longer showed signs of stress and wear, and her bite now supports long-term oral health. Our team was there every step of the way, guiding her with personalized check-ins and support. Today, Betty maintains her smile beautifully with retainers—and she's thrilled every time she sees her reflection.
