Braces do more than just straighten your teeth. They can also change your facial structure, giving you a whole new appearance with your beautiful smile. It may seem hard to believe, but your teeth shape your mouth. If your teeth are out of place, it can impact the look of your face, particularly the lower half of your face. You’ll be amazed at how different you can look with braces treatment!
Don’t just take our word for it! At Woodhill Dental Specialties, we see firsthand how braces treatment transforms our patients’ faces — and lives — in Dallas, TX, and Rockwall, TX. We photograph our patients before and after their treatment so they can see what we see. Our patients and their families are amazed at how braces change face shape before and after. They’re also amazed at how much better they can bite, chew, and even breathe after braces treatment. Don’t believe us? Let us show you how braces treatment has transformed some of our patients!
AP came to us because she hated her smile — something we never like to hear! She was overly conscious about how her teeth looked but also worried about losing her front teeth. That’s because the bad position of her teeth was causing severe tooth wear. She also had a tooth that hadn’t dropped properly, an impacted canine. She was worried that the tooth would never drop properly, giving her a “snaggletooth” look.
We placed AP in our clear ceramic braces, which she wore for 16 months. She was an excellent patient, following our guides on wearing and maintaining her braces properly. We not only straightened her teeth with braces, but we also fixed her severely worn teeth afterward by covering them with veneers. She tells us she loves her new smile, and we couldn’t be happier for her!
Patient TF wanted to improve her smile but hesitated about altering her gums or teeth. But her teeth looked shorter than usual because of the gums, and she had small lateral incisors — the incisors that sit on opposite sides of the front teeth. Her teeth were also spaced incorrectly on both the top and bottom.
New patients get a thorough examination, including dental images and x-rays, allowing us to see all the dental issues. From there, we use high-tech software to create a detailed plan to give patients the smiles of their dreams. We could show the patient what their smile would look like once everything was done.
After that, the patient was ready to begin treatment. Because her case was complicated, it must be completed in several steps. We began with 15 months of braces treatment, which took care of most of the spaces in her teeth. Bonding to her small incisors took care of the rest. Non-invasive surgery on her gums made her teeth visibly longer, giving her the amazing smile she always wanted. To this day, she is incredibly proud of her smile and is one of Woodland Dental Specialties’ biggest cheerleaders.
AX came to us with a significant overbite and a large space between her front teeth. She wanted her teeth to look more “normal,” so we worked to create a treatment plan with braces that would take her smile from normal to fabulous!

We put AX in braces for 15 months and had her use light elastics to bring her overbite under control. It reshaped her teeth, and removing the overbite reshaped her face. Her upper lip no longer overlapped her lower lip, and her chin didn’t appear as tucked in as before.
Diligent use of her elastics and encouragement from her family gave her the results we all wanted. Today, she’s happy to show off her beautiful new smile!
LL visited Woodhill Dental Specialties because he didn’t like his “set-back chin.” A large overbite set his upper jaw forward and tucked his chin under it. His teeth flared inward, and other family members had surgery to correct their bites. He was hoping he could correct his bite with braces instead.
We needed to make proper room for his teeth, so we spent 12 months using dental appliances to modify and expand his jaw to make room to move his teeth. After that, we put him in braces for 18 months. The braces corrected the flare and the overbite and changed the shape of his face. His chin no longer appeared “tucked in” and lined up better with his upper jaw. It gave him a new profile and a new level of confidence!
Patient AP2 came to us with a tendency to have an underbite, which had ground down her front teeth over the years. As an adult patient, she decided she wanted veneers to improve the look of her teeth. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the room on her teeth to get it done because her teeth were crooked and spaced incorrectly.
We knew she wanted veneers at the end of her treatment, so we created a road map of treatment that would get her to the smile of her dreams. We put her in braces for 16 months, which corrected her underbite, teeth spacing, and an impacted canine. Once her teeth were properly placed, she got crowns and veneers that restored her smile and gave her great confidence. She loves her new smile!
These are just a few amazing examples of what braces can do for you. They do so much more than straighten teeth. Braces can change your facial structure and give you a boost of confidence in your appearance.
