We typically use expanders to expand the jaw and move bone to accommodate the new teeth.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb da_disable_devices=\u00bboff|off|off\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb da_is_popup=\u00bboff\u00bb da_exit_intent=\u00bboff\u00bb da_has_close=\u00bbon\u00bb da_alt_close=\u00bboff\u00bb da_dark_close=\u00bboff\u00bb da_not_modal=\u00bbon\u00bb da_is_singular=\u00bboff\u00bb da_with_loader=\u00bboff\u00bb da_has_shadow=\u00bbon\u00bb][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=\u00bbon|tablet\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bbgcid-a7422b2f-47f3-46f2-9b9e-dc87bab6d79c\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb||30px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb60px|60px|60px|60px|true|true\u00bb custom_padding_tablet=\u00bb30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true\u00bb custom_padding_phone=\u00bb20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{%22gcid-a7422b2f-47f3-46f2-9b9e-dc87bab6d79c%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.19.3&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/totalsmilesdentalpractice.com.au\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/logo-watermark-big.png\u00bb title_text=\u00bblogo-watermark-big\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb max_width=\u00bb30px\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bb_initial\u00bb header_2_font=\u00bbPoppins|600|||||||\u00bb header_2_text_color=\u00bb#189CAB\u00bb header_2_font_size=\u00bb40px\u00bb header_2_line_height=\u00bb1.2em\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb32px\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb20px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|desktop\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h2>Book an Appointment<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bb_initial\u00bb text_font=\u00bbMontserrat||||||||\u00bb text_text_color=\u00bb#000000&#8243; text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb text_line_height=\u00bb1.8em\u00bb text_font_size_tablet=\u00bb15px\u00bb text_font_size_phone=\u00bb14px\u00bb text_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb header_font_size_tablet=\u00bb55px\u00bb header_font_size_last_edited=\u00bboff|desktop\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]Contact Total Smiles Dental Practice to speak with Dr Andres about options to straighten your smile.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bb@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjMyIn19@\u00bb button_text=\u00bbContact Us\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=\u00bbbutton_url\u00bb _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb custom_button=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text_color=\u00bb#FFFFFF\u00bb button_bg_color=\u00bb#189cab\u00bb button_border_width=\u00bb0px\u00bb button_border_radius=\u00bb30px\u00bb button_font=\u00bbMontserrat|||on|||||\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bb1a2cb743-d062-4069-b21b-6348ed96169e\u00bb text_font=\u00bbMontserrat||||||||\u00bb text_text_color=\u00bb#000000&#8243; locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n<p>Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks.
