I was wondering if there any orthodontic surgery that widens the jaw?

Monday, May 4th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I was wondering what a suitable age for placing veneers on teeth is, as I am 16 and my dentist has recommended this as a follow up from my braces, as my main problem is that I have quite a narrow jaw, which I personally really dislike. So my dentist is creating gaps between my teeth in order to fill them up with veneers, though I don’t see this having much effect. And as I have understood I am too old for a rapid palate expander, I was wondering if there was any orthodontic surgery that widens the jaw?

what else would help to change my lower half of my face other than surgery

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, i think i am generally considered average to good looking, i get my fair share of compliments, however… I have recently had a photoshoot done, just for fun, and although i knew that i had a cross bite (that has been corrected on the nhs with braces, expanders etc) i didn’t realise the obvious difference in length of either side of my lower jaw. i’m horrified. it makes my face look stupid. i could never work out why i always had a horrible smile, but i think i’ve just sussed it. to be honest i can’t see what else would help to change the lower half of my face other than surgery. is this expensive. please help

I am not sure as to what cosmetic procedure I should undertake

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I was wondering if i could get some advice. I have two front teeth which have crowns and my jaw is very narrow. My bite is around 10mm compared to the average. Although my teeth are fairly straight I lose confidence when I smile as my front teeth are very apparant. I have been to my dentist and looked at othodontic treatment but am not keen on having a brace (I am 33 years old)and do not really have the time to do so as I may be working abroad in the future. I have also had a impression and new teeth placed onto the result to see what I would look like, however there is not much difference. I am really eager to have cosmetic work done but not sure what I can do. Please help as its getting me quite down. Many Thanks,

Is any technique that can implant or grow bone into the gums so implants can be attached?

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Good evening Dr.Bohara My question is concerning the lack of bone structure in a person jaw and whether their is any technique that can implant or grow bone into the gums so implants can be attached. My wife was born with a cleft palate 53 years ago and her case is quite complicated. I do not expect an easy answer to my question but would like to know if there was any hope new techniques could improve her circumstances. Her main problems has been the lack of bone in her jaw / gums which has meant that no implants could be used so new teeth could be fixed. She has to wear a plate which goes across the roof of her mouth and attaches to her good surviving teeth. She has always been terrified that if these teeth decline and the plate could not be fixed to anything she could lose the power of speech. Is there a way that bone could be grown or transported into the gums so implants can be used etc. I have heard that cryatal can be used to grow a base so bone can then be grafted onto and into the gums but have never had this confirmed. Could please inform me if there is a technique that is now possible which could improve my wifes condition I would be grateful. Regards,

Cannot open his mouth normally

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
I have a grandson who will be 3 in May. His mouth cannot open normally. When he was a baby we could hardly get the spoon with food on it in his mouth because he cannot open it. He is unable to eat like a hamburger or a lollipop. I am very concerned and feel like he needs some kind of corrective surgery. He was to have his tear ducts opened last week but they were afraid to do it because of intubating him and his mouth not opening. Now he has to see a specialist at Duke and I am wondering where do we start to follow through with this jaw problem? What is it called when a child cannot open his mouth because of some structual problem? He looks normal and definitely acts normal he just can’t open his mouth very wide at all. I don’t know where to start. thank-you
