My daughter bottom is growing fast is there any other option beside surgery

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
My daughter has seen an orthodontist for braces and we were told her bottom jaw is growing faster than her upper jaw. The braces are not recommended until surgery is proform after she stops growing to pull back her bottom jaw. She is 12 now. I would like to know if there are other options besides surgery.

Ive an overbite problem will it be okay to have invisible braces and then followed by jaw surgery

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Patel I have had an overbite problem all my life. My top jaw is alot more “forward” than my bottom jaw which creates a rather large overbite. I have had fixed braces to try and alleviate the problem, by pushing the top teeth back and straightening the lower teeth. However my teeth are now moving back to there original position. I have been referred to see a maxiofacial surgeon who has informed me that the only way to permanently solve the problem is to have fixed braces for 18 months followed by jaw surgery to move the lower jaw forward. I am not looking forward to the prospect of wearing fixed braces again for such a long duration. However I am happy to have the jaw surgery to correct the overbite. I was wondering if I would be eligible to have the new types of invisible braces instead of the traditional “train tracks”? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I face looks round wider and larger after my ear canal surgery Is this normal?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
I got my braces on in March 2008. I’ve noticed my face is now more rotund, wider and larger & my jaw is more pronounced. I’ve seen my primary physician & we’ve done tests & everything attributes to orthodontics. The side of my face between my cheek bone and ear has stretched out. I can feel my jaw bone in my ear canal-more so on my right side; whereas, prior my ear canal was normal & unobstructed. I feel stuffy in my ears at times. I look worse than before. I am 5’9″ & now my face should be on someone who is 7’0″ tall. I am a caricature now. Is this temporary? Why wouldn’t the orthodontist tell me my face will change during my consultation & during treatment & should I get another consultation from another orthodontist? I have been told that this may be an occlusal problem and my orthodontist should have been aware of this during my consultation and exam prior to treatment. I feel like my jaw is separating from my face. Please help 🙁

Orthodontist told me i need a jaw surgery and i need to know what it does? how much it cost

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
I asked Dr.Julian the same question but i was wondering if maybe you would be able to answer it as well, maybe better since it sounds like you have had more experience in with jaws. okay well im 15 and i had braces for about 4 years. before i had them i had a bad gap and my teeth were completly crooked. After i got my braces off my teethe became straight and i did not have a gap anymore but the problem is i have a bad underbite and i have a jaw that jets out (long face shaped). My orthodontist told me that only way to fix it is to get jaw surgrey. I was wondering basically all about it, what it does? if i really should get it? how much it cost? -if you need more information or any questions for me please ask.

Ive oesteoporsis should i go for breaking my jaw or should i go for having fixed braces

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
I am 16, i have oesteoporsis and my bottom jaw is further forward than the top. my dentist had suggested breaking my jaw but with my oesteoporosis they think it would cause a lot of comlications so instead they are offering me fixed braces for two years and want me to write a letter telling them if i want this or not, i have read about the risk of pain and tooth decay if my teeth arent kept clean but i still would like normal teeth. I dont know how much fixed braces would improve my bite. And im not sure if it is worth the trouble because most people think i should just be happy with my teeth how they are and get used to it but what if im missing an oppertunity to have a good smile like other people.

My daughter has no problem in chewing or speaking but she is recommended for jaw surgery advice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hello I have just returned from a visit with my daughter to her Orthodontist and am quite shocked at his recommendation of her having her lower jaw realigned with surgery. After having had X-Rays and moulds done we thought having a few teeth out and a brace fitted for a few years will sort out her slightly crooked teeth. She doesnt have any problems chewing or speaking I took her purely because a tooth that sticks out worries her (shes nearly 15). In you opinion is this treatment really necessary? It all sounds rather painful and drastic. Many Thanks.

My dentist said i need to have my jaw broken and taken back can you advice me on the procedure

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Q.
As a teenager I was given the option of having braces but obviously as a teenager I refused to have a brace at that age!! At 33 I now wish I had. My bite is so far apart it now gets me down when I see my smile on pictures etc. I saw a dentist last year who told me the only way I could now rectify this would be to have my jaw broken and taken back. I am keen to hear of this procedure and any other procedures which may help. Although I am desperate to do something I am also concerned on what the cost would be as my teeth also need quite a lot of work due to staining etc. If there was one thing I could change about myself it would be my smile. Can you please advise me on any procedures, clinics and costs? I live in the Northwest of England. Thank you.
