Correcting Underbites and Complex Malocclusions in South Florida
Correcting a severe bite problem is often a long, emotional process for many patients. We recently noticed a conversation on Reddit where a user shared their journey, stating, "1.5 years down and only a year left! Can you tell I had an underbite?" in the r/braces community. While this patient is celebrating their progress, a 2.5 year treatment timeline is often the standard at high volume clinics or general dental offices. At SMILE-FX Orthodontic Studio, we frequently see patients who have been in treatment elsewhere for years and are seeking a more efficient, technologically advanced approach to resolve lingering bite issues or to rescue a failed treatment.
Direct Answer: Orthodontists diagnose bite problems using 3D CBCT imaging and AI simulations to identify skeletal discrepancies versus dental misalignments. Correction involves moving teeth and potentially guiding jaw growth using specialized appliances, Invisalign Aligners and other clear aligner brands, or precision braces. Early intervention and board certified expertise are critical for avoiding invasive surgeries and achieving facial harmony.
Why Most Bite Corrections Drag On For Years
Direct Answer: Traditional orthodontic approaches rely on manual adjustments and standard bracket placement that does not account for each patient's unique bone structure and root positioning. This trial and error method extends treatment time. Our cutting edge technology eliminates the guesswork with computer guided precision from day one.
I have watched patients come through our doors exhausted. They have been in braces for two years somewhere else. They were told they needed another year. Their gums are irritated. Their confidence is shot. And they just want it done.
Here is what most clinics will not tell you. The bracket placement on your teeth dictates every single movement that follows. If those brackets are placed by hand without digital guidance, you are leaving months of extra treatment time on the table. At SMILE FX, we use FX AI Braces with computer guided bracket placement that maps the most mathematically efficient path for every tooth. This is not marketing fluff. This is physics. And physics does not negotiate.
For adults commuting from Miami or young professionals driving up from Fort Lauderdale, time is the one asset you cannot get back. Spending 30 months in braces when the same result is achievable in 6 to 10 months is a choice. We make sure you know there is a faster option.
Advanced Diagnosis of Overbites Underbites and Crossbites
Direct Answer: A precise diagnosis requires looking beneath the surface. Beyond simple visual exams, an Orthodontic Specialist uses digital biometric scanning to measure how the upper and lower jaws relate to each other and the airway. This ensures the treatment plan addresses not just the appearance of straight teeth, but the underlying functional health of the entire facial structure.
When diagnosing bite problems like a crossbite or an open bite, our clinical director, Dr. Tracy Liang, utilizes a medical grade approach that many general practitioners miss. One specific expert nuance we consider is the Environmental Chemistry Protocol. In the high humidity of South Florida, specifically in coastal areas like Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale, the persistent 60 percent plus moisture levels can impact the curing of traditional bracket adhesives. To prevent premature bracket failure, we utilize HEMA free universal adhesives and vacuum assisted isolation systems. This level of detail is why families from Weston and Davie choose to commute to our Miramar studio. They understand that a Board Certified Orthodontist provides a level of clinical rigor that protects their investment and their health.
We also align our treatment milestones with the Broward County Public Schools calendar. For our younger patients in Pembroke Pines and Cooper City, we strategically schedule complex bonding appointments or appliance adjustments outside of major testing weeks to minimize student stress and improve treatment compliance. This hyper local focus ensures that the orthodontic experience integrates seamlessly into the South Florida lifestyle.
The SMILE-FX Difference in Bite Correction Speed
Direct Answer: While traditional methods may take 24 to 30 months for complex bite correction, our AI Powered protocols can often achieve similar results in as little as 4 to 6 months. By using in house 3D printing and remote monitoring, we reduce the number of required office visits by approximately 40 percent while maintaining elite clinical standards.
Many patients who have been told they need years of braces are surprised by our FX AI Braces system. This proprietary technology uses computer guided bracket placement to move teeth along the most mathematically efficient path. For adults in Miami and young professionals in Fort Lauderdale, this means fewer disruptions to their careers and social lives. We are not a high volume mill. Every treatment plan is personally overseen by Dr. Tracy Liang, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This board certification is a distinction held by only about 30 percent of practitioners and serves as the gold standard for patient safety and clinical excellence.
For those seeking discreet options, we are a Top Rated Invisalign Provider and a preferred partner for the OrthoFX system. We offer Invisalign aligners alongside our own custom 3D printed SMILE-FX aligners, which are manufactured right here in our studio for rapid turnaround times, often within 24 to 48 hours.
| Service Category | Miami-Dade County | Broward County | Palm Beach County |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 Interceptive | As low as $2,800 | As low as $2,500 | As low as $2,900 |
| Full Braces/Aligners | As low as $3,900 | As low as $3,800 | As low as $4,200 |
| Monthly Payment | As low as $149 | As low as $149 | As low as $165 |
Treating Complex Cases That Others Turn Away
Direct Answer: Complex cases involving impacted teeth, severe jaw discrepancies, or prior failed treatments require a specialist who understands surgical orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. These are not cases for general dentists or mail order aligner companies. Mastery of biomechanics is required to move teeth safely without causing root damage or gum recession.
Dr. Liang is one of the few orthodontists in Florida who specializes in complex retreatment. We often see patients from West Palm Beach and Hollywood who are unhappy with results they received elsewhere. Because Dr. Liang is a Credentialed Fellow of the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics, an honor held by less than 1 percent of orthodontists nationwide, she approaches every case with a focus on total facial harmony. This includes assessing airway and sleep health. Using 3D CBCT imaging, we can identify constricted airways that contribute to sleep disordered breathing, ensuring our patients breathe better as they smile better.
Our studio environment is also designed to be the opposite of a sterile clinic. The VIP Tech Suite includes VR entertainment to remove anxiety for children and adults alike. This is why we were recognized as the Best Orthodontic Experience in South Florida 2025. We believe that world class medical care should be comfortable, tech forward, and personally tailored to each individual. You can see real patient experiences on our patient reviews page.
| Treatment Type | Traditional Visits | SMILE-FX AI Visits | Total Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Braces | 18 to 24 Visits | 8 to 10 Visits | 12 to 18 Months |
| Clear Aligners | 12 to 15 Visits | 4 to 6 Visits | 4 to 12 Months |
| AI Precision Braces | 20+ Visits | 6 to 8 Visits | 6 to 10 Months |
When Should You Contact an Orthodontist?
Direct Answer: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first screening by age 7. This allows us to catch skeletal growth issues early. For adults, the best time to seek care is when you notice difficulty chewing, uneven wear on your teeth, or a decline in your confidence due to your smile's appearance.
For parents in Miramar and Pembroke Pines, catching an underbite early can mean the difference between a simple growth modification appliance and invasive jaw surgery at age 18. We utilize 3D digital face scanning to map out a child's future growth, ensuring that their smile design complements their unique facial structure as they mature. This proactive approach is a hallmark of the SMILE-FX Confidence Blueprint.
| Symptom | Potential Bite Issue | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Lower teeth in front of upper | Underbite | Immediate Age 7 Screening |
| Upper teeth flared forward | Overjet / Overbite | Comprehensive 3D Scan |
| Front teeth do not touch | Open Bite | Airway Evaluation |
What To Expect When You Walk Into SMILE-FX
I want to be direct about what happens when you book with us. You are not walking into a typical orthodontic office. You are walking into a studio designed for precision and comfort.
First, you get a FREE 3D scan. No radiation. No goop in your mouth. Just a fast digital impression that shows you exactly what your teeth look like right now. Then we run an AI simulation that projects what your smile will look like after treatment. You see the finish line before we even start.
We accept most major insurance plans, including Florida Blue PPO and Delta Dental of Florida. We offer 0 downpayment options for qualified and 0 percent interest options available. Monthly payments start as low as $149. And we comply with SB 1808 standards, which means if there is ever an overpayment on your account, you get it back within 30 days through automated ledger auditing. No chasing us down. No awkward phone calls. Just transparency built into the system.
For professionals commuting on I-95 or the Palmetto Expressway, we use remote dental monitoring apps to cut in office visits by about 40 percent. You check in from home. We review your progress digitally. You only drive to Miramar when it is absolutely necessary. That is the kind of efficiency that respects your time.
The Types of Bite Problems We Correct Every Day
We treat the full spectrum of malocclusions at our studio. Our treatable cases range from mild crowding to severe skeletal discrepancies. Here is what walks through our doors most often.
Underbites happen when the lower jaw protrudes past the upper jaw. In children, we can often correct this with growth modification appliances. In adults, the approach depends on whether the issue is dental or skeletal. We use 3D CBCT imaging to make that distinction immediately.
Overbites and overjets are different problems that often get lumped together. A deep overbite means the upper front teeth cover too much of the lower front teeth vertically. An overjet means the upper teeth stick out horizontally. Both need different mechanics to fix. Our AI planning software maps the exact force vectors needed for each correction.
Crossbites occur when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. This can happen in the front or the back. Left untreated, crossbites lead to asymmetric jaw growth, uneven wear, and sometimes permanent facial asymmetry. Early intervention is everything here.
Open bites leave a gap between the upper and lower front teeth even when the back teeth are closed. These are often tied to tongue posture or thumb habits. We evaluate the airway and the tongue position as part of every open bite diagnosis. Fixing the bite without addressing the root cause is a recipe for relapse.
Clear Aligners Versus Braces For Complex Bites
I get asked this every single day. The answer depends on the severity of your case and your lifestyle. Clear aligners have come a long way. They can handle many moderate malocclusions that used to require braces. But for severe rotations, significant vertical movements, or cases needing surgical coordination, precision braces still offer superior control.
What sets us apart is we do not have a financial incentive to push you toward one option or the other. We manufacture our own 3D printed aligners in house. We also place braces. Dr. Liang recommends whatever will give you the best result in the shortest time. We present both options with honest timelines and costs. You decide.
Our adult patients pursuing what we call the Miami Glow Up often choose ceramic braces with champagne gold brackets or clear aligners. These are high social currency treatments. They look good during the process. They do not scream "orthodontics" in photos or at events. And they deliver results that elevate your entire facial aesthetic.
Why Patients Drive From All Over South Florida
We have patients who drive from Weston. From Pinecrest. From Boca Raton. From Victoria Park in Fort Lauderdale. They pass dozens of other orthodontic offices to get to us. The reason is simple. We solve problems that other clinics either created or could not fix.
Board certification matters. Only about 30 percent of orthodontists earn Diplomate status from the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Liang holds that credential. She is also a Credentialed Fellow of the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics. Fewer than 1 percent of orthodontists nationwide hold that fellowship. When you combine those credentials with our in house technology stack, you get outcomes that general dentists and corporate chains cannot replicate.
I will say this plainly. If you have been in treatment for over two years and you are not seeing the progress you expected, get a second opinion. Bring your records to us. We will run a free simulation and show you exactly what a finished result looks like with our approach. No obligation. Just clarity.
Your Next Step Toward a Corrected Bite
Correcting underbites and complex malocclusions in South Florida does not have to take years. It does not have to involve endless office visits or uncertainty about the outcome. The technology exists to make this process fast, predictable, and comfortable. You just need the right team in your corner.
If you are ready to see what your smile looks like after treatment before you commit to anything, book a FREE 3D scan and VIP smile consultation at our Miramar studio. We will walk you through the simulation, answer every question honestly, and give you a clear roadmap. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just the facts and a plan.

Salvaging Failed Underbite and Complex Bite Treatments with Expert Orthodontic Retreatment
Direct Answer: Failed orthodontic treatment for underbites and complex malocclusions happens when the root cause—the skeletal jaw relationship—is not properly diagnosed first. We use 3D CBCT imaging and AI-driven biomechanical planning to fix the foundation. Retreatment demands a board-certified orthodontic specialist who can safely reverse previous damage and deliver stable results often in half the time of the original failed plan.
I’ve looked at hundreds of scans from patients who spent two or three years in braces somewhere else, only to have their underbite look almost the same.
Their gums are thin, some teeth feel loose, and they’ve been told they need jaw surgery now.
When I see that, I know exactly what happened—the initial doctor treated the teeth without understanding the skeleton underneath.
That’s why patients from Boca Raton, Pinecrest, and Weston drive past a dozen other offices to get to us in Miramar.
They need truth and precision, not another guess.
Most people don't realize that moving teeth on a mismatched jaw foundation is like building a house on a crooked frame.
The teeth eventually shift back, and you get root resorption or gum recession.
Dr. Tracy Liang, our clinical director and co-founder, won't even begin a retreatment plan until she reviews the full skull anatomy with a 3D CBCT scan.
She’s a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics—a certification held by only about 30 percent of orthodontists.
That board certification forces a diagnostic discipline that general dentists and high-volume chains simply don’t have.
When you add her Fellowship in the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics—held by less than 1 percent of orthodontists nationwide—you get a clinical brain that sees the whole face, not just the teeth.
The Real Reason So Many Underbite Corrections Fail
Direct Answer: Traditional orthodontic mechanics often try to "camouflage" an underbite by tipping teeth backward, which doesn’t address the jaw discrepancy. Over time, this tipping relapses, gums recede, and the bite collapses. Real correction requires knowing when to guide growth in kids or when to combine tooth movement with a carefully planned surgical component in adults.
We see a pattern.
Someone had braces for 30 months as a teen.
The underbite never really went away—it was just masked.
Now at 28, they notice their lower teeth jutting out again, and their jaw clicks.
They come to us thinking they need double jaw surgery and two more years of braces.
Half the time, that’s not true.
With FX AI Braces, our custom 3D-printed bracket system, we can map force vectors to actually reposition the bite using a combination of precision braces and clear aligners without an invasive surgery.
Dr. Liang’s AI planning software simulates every single movement before we ever bond a bracket, eliminating the trial-and-error that killed the first treatment.
This is how we routinely rescue underbite cases in 6 to 12 months that were previously quoted at 24 months plus surgery.
The Lingual Braces Edge for Adults and Professionals
If you’re an adult who has been burned by failed treatment, the last thing you want is another round of highly visible metal braces.
That’s where Dr. Liang’s expertise in lingual braces changes the game.
She is one of fewer than 10 doctors in the entire United States who is expert-credentialed in both the Win Lingual Braces system and the Inbrace Lingual system.
These braces go on the back of your teeth—entirely invisible.
For professionals in Fort Lauderdale and Miami chasing what we call the “Miami Glow Up,” this is the ultimate high-social-currency treatment.
You get the full corrective power of braces to fix a complex underbite or crossbite without anyone knowing you’re in treatment.
Combined with our in-house 3D printing, we can manufacture custom precision braces and clear aligners right here in our Miramar studio.
No shipping delays.
No waiting two weeks for a replacement aligner.
We design, print, and deliver in 24 to 48 hours.
That speed matters when you’re correcting a bite that’s already been through one failed cycle and you don’t want to lose momentum.
| Retreatment Challenge | Typical Approach | SMILE-FX Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw relationship misdiagnosis | Dental camouflage | 3D CBCT skeletal analysis & AI planning |
| Previous root damage | Continue with same forces | Custom light-force biomechanics and monitoring |
| Patient trust eroded | No visual proof | AI smile simulation before any work begins |
| Visible appliance anxiety | Standard metal braces | Hidden lingual braces or Invisalign aligners |
Remote Monitoring So You Stop Losing Hours in Traffic
When you’re fixing a bite that already failed once, you expect a lot of office visits.
But our patients aren’t just local—they drive down from West Palm Beach, across from Pinecrest, and up from Brickell.
Nobody has time for 20 appointments.
So we built a virtual backbone into every treatment plan.
The orthodontic monitoring app we use lets you scan your teeth at home with your smartphone.
Dr. Liang reviews the images remotely, and we only call you in when the precise moment demands hands-on adjustment.
This alone cuts in-person visits by around 40 percent.
That’s fewer hours on I-95 and the Palmetto Expressway.
For parents juggling kids and careers, it’s a sanity saver.
This is how we achieve complex bite corrections in 4 to 12 months without compromising quality.
And because every plan is personally overseen by a board-certified orthodontic specialist, you get speed backed by clinical judgment, not an algorithm alone.

Insurance, Financing, and What Actually Makes a Top Rated Orthodontist in South Florida
I hear the same three questions every single day at our Miramar studio. Does insurance cover braces? How much am I really going to pay? And what makes one orthodontist better than the one down the street? Let me answer all three right now with zero fluff.
Direct Answer: Most PPO dental insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment for both kids and adults, typically between $1,000 and $2,500, depending on your plan. At SMILE-FX®, we accept Florida Blue PPO and Delta Dental of Florida, and we verify your exact benefits before you commit to anything. Monthly payments start as low as $149 with 0 downpayment options for qualified and 0% interest options available. No surprises. No hidden math.
What actually determines whether you have a great outcome or a mediocre one comes down to who diagnoses your case and what technology they use to execute it. That is the difference between a Board Certified Orthodontist South Florida families trust and a general dentist who took a weekend aligner course.
Does Insurance Cover Braces? The Real Answer for South Florida Families
Direct Answer: Yes, most PPO dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that cover a portion of braces or clear aligners. The typical lifetime maximum is $1,000 to $2,500 per patient. We file all claims for you and apply the benefits directly to your treatment cost before you pay a single dollar out of pocket.
I have watched patients walk into other offices, get quoted a price, and never get told their insurance could cut that number nearly in half. That does not happen here. We run your insurance before we present your treatment plan. You see the real number, after insurance, on day one.
For families searching Affordable Braces Broward or $0 Down Braces Financing South Florida, here is what you need to know. We accept Florida Blue PPO and Delta Dental of Florida. We also offer in house financing with monthly payments starting as low as $149. That covers everything: all visits, all adjustments, all the technology, and one set of retainers at the end.
We also comply with SB 1808 standards. If there is ever a credit balance on your account, our automated ledger auditing catches it and you get your money back within 30 days. No phone calls. No awkward conversations. Just a check in the mail or a credit back to your card. That level of financial transparency is rare in healthcare. It should be the standard.
| Insurance Provider | Typical Orthodontic Benefit | SMILE-FX® Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Florida Blue PPO | $1,000 to $2,500 Lifetime Max | Accepted and Filed |
| Delta Dental of Florida | $1,500 to $2,500 Lifetime Max | Accepted and Filed |
| Other PPO Plans | Varies by Plan | Verified Before Treatment |
Traditional Braces vs Invisalign: Which One Actually Works Better?
Direct Answer: For simple to moderate cases, clear aligners like Invisalign work as well as braces when worn consistently. For severe rotations, large overbites, or complex bite corrections, precision braces still offer superior control and faster results. At SMILE-FX®, we do not push you toward one or the other. Dr. Liang recommends what will give you the best result fastest based on your specific diagnosis.
Patients searching Traditional Braces vs Invisalign often want a simple comparison chart. Here it is.
| Factor | Traditional Braces | Clear Aligners (Invisalign) |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Complex cases, severe rotations | Mild to moderate cases, adults |
| Visibility | Visible metal or ceramic | Nearly invisible |
| Treatment speed | 6 to 18 months typical | 4 to 12 months typical |
| Compliance required | Low, fixed to teeth | High, 20 to 22 hours per day |
What most comparison charts miss is the diagnostic layer. You cannot answer Traditional Braces vs Invisalign without first understanding why your bite is off. A patient with a skeletal underbite needs a completely different strategy than someone with mild crowding. At our studio, the 3D CBCT scan and AI simulation answer the question for you before we even discuss appliance type. We show you the simulation of both options and let the data guide the decision.
What Makes a Board Certified Orthodontist Different From a General Dentist
Direct Answer: A board certified orthodontist completes an additional 2 to 3 year residency focused exclusively on tooth movement, jaw growth, and facial harmony after dental school. Only about 30 percent of practicing orthodontists earn Diplomate status from the American Board of Orthodontics. This certification requires passing a rigorous written exam and presenting completed patient cases for peer review. It is the highest credential in the specialty.
When you search Best Orthodontist Near Me or Board Certified Orthodontist South Florida, you are going to see hundreds of listings. Here is how to filter them. Look for ABO Diplomate status. Look for fellowship credentials like the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics, which fewer than 1 percent of orthodontists hold. Look for practices that own their technology rather than outsourcing it.
Dr. Tracy Liang holds both of those credentials. She personally oversees every treatment plan. That means your case is not handed off to a treatment coordinator or an algorithm. A specialist who understands the biomechanics of how teeth move through bone is reviewing your scans and designing your care. That is why patients drive from West Palm Beach, Aventura, and Boca Raton past dozens of other offices to get to us. They want the Best Orthodontist for Complex Cases, not the closest one.
For families searching Best Pediatric Orthodontist South Florida, the same rule applies. Kids are not just small adults. Their jaws are still growing. A board certified specialist knows how to guide that growth using appliances timed to the child's development. That early intervention can prevent jaw surgery and permanent extractions later. Our Phase 1 Interceptive program aligns treatment milestones with the Broward County Public Schools calendar so major adjustments do not fall during testing weeks. Parents in Pembroke Pines and Weston notice those details.
Why Adults Are Driving the Growth of Orthodontics in South Florida
Direct Answer: Adults now represent nearly 30 percent of all orthodontic patients nationwide. In South Florida, that number is even higher. The combination of remote work, increased video calls, and a social culture that values appearance has driven massive demand for discreet treatment options like clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual braces.
When adults search Orthodontics for Adults Miami or Adult Orthodontics Aventura, they are usually looking for something specific. They want it fast. They want it invisible or nearly invisible. They do not want to schedule 20 office visits. And they want to see the result before they start.
We built our entire practice around those four demands. Our AI simulation shows you your finished smile before you commit. Our remote monitoring app cuts office visits by 40 percent. Our in house 3D printing means we can produce aligners in 24 to 48 hours. And Dr. Liang is one of fewer than 10 orthodontists in the country expert credentialed in both Win Lingual Braces and Inbrace Lingual systems. These are completely hidden braces mounted behind your teeth. For professionals in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, this is the definition of a high social currency treatment. You get the full corrective power without anyone knowing.
We call this the Miami Glow Up. It is not just about straight teeth. It is about how your entire facial structure looks more balanced after correcting a bite issue that has been there for decades. When we fix a deep overbite or an underbite in an adult, the change in their lower face profile can be dramatic. They look more confident. They smile in photos without thinking about it. That is the result that matters.
How to Choose the Right Practice When You Search Orthodontist Near Me
Direct Answer: When searching Orthodontist Near Me or Braces Near Me, look for three things: board certification status, in house technology rather than outsourced labs, and verified patient reviews from real treated cases. Avoid any practice that cannot show you a 3D simulation of your expected result before you commit.
I get blunt about this because most consumers do not know what they do not know. They pick the closest office or the cheapest quote. They do not ask about bracket placement technology. They do not ask if the doctor is board certified. They do not ask if the aligners are made in house or shipped from a lab in another state. Those details determine whether your treatment takes 6 months or 30 months. They determine whether your bite stays corrected or relapses two years later.
At SMILE-FX®, we are a Top Rated Invisalign Provider and a SureSmile Orthodontist South Florida patients trust because we use AI guided bracket placement and 3D printed precision appliances. Our aligners are manufactured right here in our Miramar studio. We do not wait on shipping from a third party lab. That speed and control is why we are considered the Top tech driven Orthodontist Miramar has to offer.
If you are comparing options and searching Top Rated Orthodontist Near Me or 5-Star Rated Orthodontist Florida, read our patient reviews. Watch the video testimonials. See the before and after scans. Then come in for a FREE 3D scan and compare the simulation we show you against what anyone else can produce. The difference will be obvious.
The Consultation: What Happens When You Walk In
Direct Answer: Your first visit includes a zero radiation 3D scan of your teeth, an AI generated simulation of your finished smile, a conversation with Dr. Liang about your specific goals, and a printed treatment plan with exact costs and timeline. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no fee for this visit.
For anyone searching Orthodontic Consultation South Florida, you need to know what a real consultation looks like versus a sales pitch. A real consultation includes diagnostic data. A real consultation shows you the end result before you pay anything. A real consultation answers your questions about Invisalign Cost South Florida and Clear Aligners Cost Miami with an exact dollar figure, not a range.
We also understand that many families are searching Affordable Braces West Palm Beach, Affordable Braces Miramar, or Affordable Braces South Florida because cost is a real factor.
