Should I Get My Crown Reduced in Size?

Q.
My front crown has been coming forward and now leaves ulcers on my bottom lip. My dentist referred me to an orthodontist. I said that I feel the front jaw is moving forward, she said that I would be better trying to reduce size of the crown as braces take a long time. I do have a overhang and also small chin, but I have also noticed I’m starting to spray as I talk and have woken up a couple of times choking, could this all be part of my jaw alignment and can anything be done? I am 51. Thanks.

Hello, thank you for your question. It’s probably not related but it would be good to follow the advice of the orthodontist and replace the crown. Kind regards, Andrew.
