Im 17 my jaw is slightly crooked how can i get it aligned?
Q. Hi, I am 17 and about 4 months go i noticed that my jaw is slightly crooked to the left, As i am a student i cannot pay for private treatment, is it possible for me to get it aligned? Cheers
A. The jaw will settle into the position its is meant to be in. It cannot be re-aligned but the teeth can with braces. See you dentist and ask him/her if you might be eligble for a brace perhaps on the NHS

I have 38 yrs old, I had braces about 10 yrs ago and my teeth are now straight. Recently my lower jaw has begun to slant down on one side. What are the possible cause of this?
Thanks
