is there a treament for chin and nose that protrude and set back teeth

Q. Do you know of a treatment for when the front teeth top and bottom are set too far back and from the profile view the chin and nose protrude. I wore a brace when I was 13/14 and think that the teeth were pulled back too far. I have seen a local surgeon who really made me feel uneasy and wouldn’t speak to me privately and since then i’ve been really depressed. At school kids used to goad me about it. I am not confident when I smile and really would like to restore that confidence.

A. There are possibilities for treatment. You may be eligible for brace treatment again but you may also need a combination of brace treatment and veneers to give you the perfect smile. I the problem is skeletal, orthognathic surgery may be suggested. This is very invasive and involves reposition the jaws so that you have a better profile. If you have a consultation with a cosmetic/ restorative dentist they will also be able to refer for an orthodontic opinion. If you are unsure who to go then then any of the dentists on this website would be able to give you all of your options
