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 been told braces would make my TMJ worse. What are my options to straighten them?

Monday, December 6th, 2010
Q.

Hi, I’ve always been very self-conscious about my crooked front teeth. So I decided to have braces. The orthodontist told me that I will need 4 bicuspid tooth extraction. My parents were against it but agree to let me make my own decision. But unfortunately, just a few days ago, I found out that I might have TMJ disorders so I went on asking about it and found it was true. I have TMJ. And some even said that bicuspid extraction will actually cause TMJ to severe. So in the end I had decided not to have braces. But right now I’m still feeling very upset about my teeth. How can I straighten it a little? Braces is definitely out of the question. I just want to make it look better a little, is there anything I can do?

How can I straighten my misaligned teeth and improve their whiteness?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Q.

Hello!

I have a problem with my teeth, they are not aligned properly, not straight, especially one front tooth.(it sticks out)…I had braces in the past but it didn’t turn out to be a successful treatment because apparently my tongue went in the way and pushed the teeth a bit forward….I still have this wire behind my front teeth to keep everything together…could you advice what kind of braces to have? I was also thinking about veneers, but my teeth are healthy though they are naturally yellowish ( i had them whitened as well, but still stayed pretty much the same….)
What would you advise me?

Looking forward to hear from you soon!

Hi Sunita,

Hope you are doing well.  I have undergone orthodontics treatment one week back and now planning to travel to UK in the next month. But as per my doctors advise I need to undergo periodic checks after having the braces.

Awaiting your reply.
