My jaws stopped growing before all of my teeth what could be done to correct this?
Q. I was wondering what surgery would be necessary for me, and also what prices I may be looking at (I live in North England). My dentist told me that my jaws stopped growing before all of my teeth were through, which has caused the two “fang” teeth to be pushed higher on the gum, so now everytime I smile I look vampire-like. What could be done to correct this?
A.
Each case is different, Orthodontics may be able to move the fangs ( canines ) often some other teeth will need extracting top make space. If the fangs are in very poor positions thay might be taken out and any residual gap closed by orthodontics or Veneers.
Orthodontics might be train track type fixed braces or “invisible” plastic shells like Clearstep or Invisalign.
Some improvement could be possible by reshaping the tooth adding veneers or filling
Hope this helps
