Should I get jaw surgery now or wait until i’m older?

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi. So I’m 15 years old and I have an underbite. I went through retainers ever since 8 but when I started losing teeth it became useless. All my docs and orthos told me to get surgery when I’m 16. Although I just came back from an ortho and he told me I should wait till I’m 21 to get the surgery because my jaw can still grow. I want to do it now but my ortho said if I do it now it’s possible it will grow back. So should I wait or should do it now?

Is surgery necessary on my anterior open bite?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

I have had braces since September 2010 due correctdion of an open bite. I have only recently suffered with an open bite, the last 2 years, I am now 40 years of age. My Maxillofacial surgeon and Orthodontist are working towards me have surgery to resolve my open bite, whereby a part of my upper jaw bone is removed each side. I have had various tests to find the cause of this but have found nothing. Is the jaw surgery necessary or could my problem be related to my jaw joints not fitting together any longer and that’s where the problem has occurred?

Thanks

I want treatment but have been told I need jaw surgery, is this necessary?

Friday, February 4th, 2011
Q.

Hi Mark,

I am looking to get some crowns or veneers and a fixed bridge. I have been to see a few dentists and two said they could do the work that i require but the other dentist said she is unable to do the work because i have a straight bite. She said that jaw surgery is my only option. I wanted to clarify whether i can have the treatment i require instead of having surgery to correct my bite. I really do not want to have surgery on my jaw.

Regards

My 11-year-old needs orthodontic treatment, is a wire brace a good alternative to surgery?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Q.

My son is 11 years old .The dentist is quite concerned and have referred him to an orthodontist. His 2front teeth potrude out at the front and seem to be to big for his jaw. she mentioned a hospital appointment to have the jaw moved up, at that stage my son panicked. She said no need to worry it will maybe a wire brace pleaase could you explain what this means

Is jaw surgery really necessary to correct my open bite?

Thursday, December 9th, 2010
Q.

Brace/Openbite
I have recently had braces applied to my top set of teeth to try and correct an open bite. I have been told that I will probably have to undergo surgery which will involve removing part of the bone in my upper jaw and reconnecting it with pins and plates. I have only recently (the past 2 years) suffered with an open bite, so my dentist (not maxillofacial surgeon) thinks the problem is connected to cartilage in my temporomandibular joint. I am bit concerned with having the surgery on my top jaw as it sounds and looks horrendous. I am not concerned with the option of having my lower jaw repositioned if this could correct the problem. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have a 9 mm overbite, are there any alternatives to jaw surgery?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I have 9 mm overbite (overjet). During my last visit to India i have braces and my orthodontics extract my two upper premolars in order to make space and he put braces only at upper teeth. I came back to denmark after 1 month and find an orthodontic for furthur treatment. The orthodontics here suggest that i need a jaw surgery instead extraction of premolars. while the jaw surgery will perform in hospital and it is free in denmark.
is there any alternate to jaw surgery , can braces done the job itself? I have deep overbite of 9 mm what would you recommend?
many thanx in advance
