Ashley's Orthodontic Journey with Drs. Haerian, Ludwig, & Simon

BEFORE
AFTER

When it comes to orthodontic treatments, there are a lot of options to choose from. To illustrate how difficult it can be to decide on the right course of treatment, we’d like to share with you the story of how Ashley and her Mom decided to pursue orthodontic treatment with Drs. Haerian, Ludwig, & Simon.

Ashley’s Mom knew that her daughter would need orthodontic treatment; the only question was when. She got three different opinions and ended up with an orthodontist in Tecumseh. Mom knew that her overbite would need to be addressed but her first concern was the big gap between Ashley’s two front teeth. She had braces placed on the upper four teeth to straighten and close the gap while waiting for all the permanent teeth to come in. When that day finally arrived, Ashley’s mom was shocked to hear the Tecumseh orthodontist insist that the only way to correct her overbite would be with orthognathic surgery. She went for a second opinion in Monroe where the orthodontist wanted to try a removable Frankel appliance but wasn’t very optimistic about the end result.

She then decided to visit Drs. Haerian, Ludwig & Simon where the third time proved to be a charm. We still felt a MARA (Mandibular Advancement Repositioning Appliance) was the best option, but cautioned that her severe overjet was over 7 mm, so surgery after orthodontic treatment remained a possibility. Two years later, the MARA and braces were removed. Ashley’s bite isn’t just acceptable; it’s exceptional! The result also would not have been possible without Ashley’s diligent work at the end wearing elastics to fine tune the fit of her upper and lower teeth. Both Ashley and her Mom are very pleased with the result AND very happy to get a surgery-free perfect smile!

If you are considering orthodontic treatment for your child or yourself, make sure to give Drs. Haerian, Ludwig, & Simon a call to schedule a consultation. We look forward to seeing you!
