How Can I Get Jaw Surgery in the UK?

Monday, February 16th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I have a class 3 underbite and was evaluated to have jaw surgery years ago in my country. I had braces on and regular visits for 6 months. Then I moved, and tried to find a dentist that could carry on the treatment but couldn’t find any. So since I settled in the UK 3 years ago, I found out that it was very difficult to get the jaw surgery done on the NHS. I got my braces removed and gave up for some time, but I feel so over-conscious about the problem that I cant even smile when taking pictures. The fact that people still make fun of my problem affects me sometimes. I would like to do something about it.
Regards.

Can invisalign treatment fix an underbite and replace braces?

Q.
Hi Dr. Moore, My name is Joseph and i am a 16 year old male with a class 3 under bite and slight crowding on my bottom teeth. Ive had my top braces for 3 months now and my bottoms for a week and i cant stand them at all. In fact I really really dislike them and I cant see myself with braces for 2 more years. Obviously i have read about Invisalign and i have been wondering if invisalign can correct my under bite( class 3). I have talked to my parents about this and when i proposed my plan they told me to look into it and find out. My plan consited taking off my horrid braces and wearing invisalign to straighten my teeth and either wear bands attached to the invisalign brackets or wear some sort of head gear at night to slowly push my lower jaw back. I also thought about wearing invisalign until my teeth are perfectly straight and then at that point do jaw surgery to correct my jaw alignment. I understand that these “options” of mine are quite abstract but i wanted to hear your opinion on these proposals. In addition i would appreciate it if you could provide me another way i can fix my under bite without braces that you know of.,
