Any recommendations to fix my underbite?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Q.
hi there I again am very self concious about my underbite. I had 2 surgeries years ago and my jaw relapsed both times. I was thinking of venners for my upper jaw longer then maybe the venners might hit a lower tooth. I did have one cosmetic look very quickly at my mouth and said I have 3 teeth that are crowded in the lower front. He said maybe 3 implants with venners would work be I did not see him again for a cast. I’m 45 now and seeing as what I went through I gave up on my lack of smile. any recomendations,

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,

I recommend surgery if you hav… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is the surgery that i need available on the NHS?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Q. I am 21 years old. About 6 years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 15 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased. I am 21 and would like to know if i can get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Many Thanks,,

Dentist recommended lower jaw surgery but is this necessary?

Monday, March 15th, 2010
Q.
I just got back from my orthodontist and they told me that my lower jaw is too big, that they will give me one more year to grow (I’m 16) and that they may have to do lower jaw surgery (slide my jaw back). But my two front teeth are at an angle. Is this a serious problem? Is the surgery completely nessecary?,

Would braces be covered by the NHS?

Friday, March 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, i am 27 and have what i consider really crooked teeth which are probably caused by an overlapping bight. I have arranged through my dentist to see a specialist about braces or what would need to be done and my dentist says it would probably require surgery to align the jaw. Would the NHS cover any of this? I dont have a high paying job, but have a crooked smile really affects my confidence and i really want to get this fixed.,

This is unlikely to be covered… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
