Is there any way of straightening my teeth without the operation for bring my jaw forward
Q. Dear Dr Riten, I am 22 years old, I am not at all happy with my teeth. When I went to the hospital for advice, they said I have to have my jaw brought forward, that is something big. I was wondering if there is any way of straightening my teeth without the operation. I understand that it will not be effective as would have been if I was younger, but I’m very desperate now, please can you help me Dr Riten? Thank you Yours sincerely inthu
A. Surgery is the ideal treatment to make your jaws meet correctly, it is a relatively common procedure but the treatment time is extended. If you just want your teeth straighter I am sure that can be done provided you are willing to accept certain compromises. It is difficult to give you options without seeing but it may be worth speaking to your dentist about non surgical options and how they would look.
