Q. I have been to see a cosmetic dentist and he advises I have an overbite resulting in only one of my teeth being weight bearing and my whole jaw being thrown out of shape. He tells me I can never wer dentures due to my top jaw and bottom jaw being tally diferent sizes, and suggests my only hope is either 5 implants or surgery to reshape my whole jawline. Both are expensive, involve significant amounts of surgery and pain. I am 50 and this sounds like a lot of treatment. Is it really needed?
