The Amazing MARA

John’s mom was devastated when the first orthodontist they visited said they would need to wait until John’s growth was complete and then do braces along with orthognathic surgery to correct his severe overbite. Upset at the thought of waiting six years before treatment could begin, she sought a second opinion. She was elated to hear Dr. Jennifer Ludwig’s idea of using a MARA/Hyrax (an appliance for correcting overbites along with a palate expander) to get the job done while he was still growing.

It took three years but John just celebrated his 16th birthday with a perfect smile. Not only did John avoid surgery, his results were nothing short of phenomenal!
