My bottom teeth do not need braces but my top teeth do, can this be done?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I am 28 and thinking of getting fixed braces to correct my overbite of approx 9mm. The orthodontist I have seen thinks he will be about to get it down to around 3mm with fixed braces. My bottom teeth are straight so I do not think I will need braces on them. Would you always advise to have both top and bottom done? Thanks.,

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.,

Can I have my bridge corrected?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
I received a bridge (front tooth knocked out) back in the 90’s….it was a bad job from jump but at that time didn’t realize how bad. The bridge has always been a lighter color from the rest of my teeth and the teeth that were shaved for fitting are visible at the gumline!!! HORRIBLE… can this be corrected – redone? If so, what would be the cost out of pocket? HELP…would love to SMILE again.,
