my 14 year old daughter has an overbite would you advise jaw realignment surgery

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
My 14 year old daughter has just been told that she will need jaw realignment surgery, as the hape of her face will not enable her to have normal braces. her overbite is such that she can insert her finger between lower and upper teeth. she has inherited her dad’s massive nose, which is prominent and makes her embarrased and shy. she has difficulties eating and she dribbles as she cant close her mouth properly. i know without looking it is hard to make an assessment, but would you advise surgery?

Would it be possible to lengthen my top teeth and widen the appearance of my upper jaw

Friday, June 5th, 2009
Q.
I used to have an underbite, however, followinglower maxiofacial surgery, that was corrected. My upper jaw is still relatively smallin comparision, and my bite is close. When I smile I show alot of my bottom teeth, including gum exposure. They have slight crowding also. Would it be possible to lengthen my top teeth and widen the appearence of my upper jaw with minimal invasion? also what can be done for my bottom jaw, I had fixed braces to relign before and they’ve moved bak to their overcrowded position. I do find it distressing as I’m getting married in August and have had treatment since iwas 11 but it’s still not right or a normal smile.

I have a traumatic jaw what are my option other than having a surgery or straightening my teeth

Thursday, June 4th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I was told by my orthodontist that I have a traumatic jaw and she advised two options – one was to go through an operation involving jaw reconstruction and then braces for a year or second option to have two teeth removed on either side and have braces for two years which would result in 60-70% accuracy of teeth alignment. I have an under bite. Quite frankly, I don’t fancy either of these so could there be an alternative to acquiring straight jaw line and teeth alignment within a short scale of time? Thanking you in anticipation.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
My 25 year old daughter has been having bouts of jaw pain ever since she had her braces removed about three years ago. The pain can become so severe it goes into her neck. She is unable to close her jaw completely so that her back teeth touch and her jaw clicks. Her orthodontist didn’t say anything about any jaw problems when her braces were put on. Any ideas on what could be wrong and what she can do to alleviate her pain.

She may need to see a dentist … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
