Do I Need Braces To Rectify My Jaw Alignment Problem Or Some Other Treatment?
Q.
Hello Dr Moore. I hope that you can give me a helpful answer to my problem. Recently, I noticed that my lower jaw set are slightly shifting and coming in front of my top teeth. It irritates me while I’m eating or even smiling. Do I need to have braces so that the problem can be rectified or is it my jaw that is moving and not the teeth? I’m really concerned about the problem as I want it to be fixed soon. Please make me aware of the rectifying method. Is that is it my jaw that is moving? Or is it my teeth? Can it be treated, right? Thank you for your time.

Hi, thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately I can’t really tell you whether it’s growth of the jaw or movement of the teeth from your description, you should find an orthodontist to see what your options are to correct the problem. I would need to see you in person to diagnose the problem you have. If you’d like to find out more about braces, this website has a good section explaining the different types of systems available. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr Andrew Moore.
