My Teeth Are Misaligned And Caused Me Pain In My Back And Neck. Why Is This?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014
Q.

Doc, I have a big problem my front teeth
2 teeth. They have been missing for many years and just a year ago I started to use braces to fix my problem but it really causes me problems with pain on the right side face, which is unaligned to the left. Perhaps this is because my right teeth have shifted to the left and that there is not enough room. I feel my back and neck is aching and my body seems not aligned as well as it was. Has this got anything to do with the misalignment of my teeth? I lose my balance sometimes when I walk because my right knee aches. Please help me so that I would know what to do. Thank you.

Do I Need Braces To Rectify My Jaw Alignment Problem Or Some Other Treatment?

Thursday, April 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I hope that you can give me a helpful answer to my problem. Recently, I noticed that my lower jaw set are slightly shifting and coming in front of my top teeth. It irritates me while I’m eating or even smiling. Do I need to have braces so that the problem can be rectified or is it my jaw that is moving and not the teeth? I’m really concerned about the problem as I want it to be fixed soon. Please make me aware of the rectifying method. Is that is it my jaw that is moving? Or is it my teeth? Can it be treated, right? Thank you for your time.

I Think My Jaw Has Lowered Recently. What Can I Do To Fix This?

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013
Q.

I’ve recently noticed that my jaw has begun to look like its on a angle, am not sure whether it has always been like this, but from what I can remember this is something that has happened recently and I can’t take my mind of it, I constantly try and place my top teeth on top of my bottom teeth so they go straight but my jaw seems to of lowered, why is this? If I place my top fang directly on top of my bottom fang on my left hand side I can almost push my finger through the gap on the other side of my mouth, if I place my fang directly above my other fang tooth on the right side there is no gap at all, am beginning to become really self conscious because of this, I’m pretty sure this has just came about in the last few months, what can I do about this?

Can You Help Me With My Speech Impediment?

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am 30 years old and have had a speech impediment my entire life, mainly G’s, J’s, ish sounds. I was discharged from speech therapy at 5 being told the problem was the shape of my jaw and teeth, and therapy would not help me. I have no overbite or underbite, my teeth just bang together. I cannot extend my top row of teeth to protrude over my bottom row, it’s impossible. Many of my teeth are misshapen. I can’t get on in life because of it, I never smile and never dare say words I know I can’t. I can’t even say my wife’s name, Angela. Ever heard of this before, is there a cure through dentist work? Unfortunately I have to rely on NHS funding and as such need to know if I will even get help with a procedure this size. Anyway, sorry the long rambling, first time I’ve ever asked for advice. PS not a single dentist has ever said anything about any misalignment, jaw/tooth shape problem, but I’ve never told them either. I think it’s not an apparent connection unless I speak words with my problem sounds. Thank you very much for your time, and any input or advice will be immensely appreciated.

After describing my symptoms, do you think I could be suffering from a TMJ condition?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Dr Safeer Butt,

I think I may suffer from TMJ as my jaw is misaligned, at times the left side of my face becomes sore and warm and the my left jaw and cheekbone are higher and sharper on the left side and virtually invisible on the other. Now I’m not sure if that is just my “good side” for photos and the like or if this is caused by my teeth. As a result the tip of my nose and the bridge twists ever so slightly to the left and so my smile works imperfectly in relation to my nose and chin.

What would you recommend I do? I’m only 16 and I think these issues have arisen from improper wearing of braces, what do you think? It’s beginning to affect my confidence.Thank you for your time.

My bite alignment is a little unequal, would a dental crown make my jaw look worse?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012
Q.

I am 23 years old and my bite alignment is a little unequal, though it doesn’t look odd. I had an injury some months back and my front teeth had got damaged. I was planning for capping of my front teeth. But, my concern is that will the capping/crowning make my jaw bulge out as the cap is placed above the tooth, so since my upper and lower jaw is little disinclined, the capped tooth would look odd and more bulging?

How can I find out more about the treatment procedure for realigning my jaw?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

I have severe misalignment of my upper jaw over my lower i can stick a finger in between. I know that i would probably need surgery to realign my jaw as i was advised this as a teenager. how do i go about this i am very keen to get it sorted as it ruins my appearance. Could i get it through a general private orthodontic practice in London? or through the nhs? my dentist said I would have to pay privately) Also is there anyway i call call to ask about it or somewhere you would recommend?
Many thanks

I’m worried my daughter has the same jaw problem as me, can I stop this?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi,

I have a 7 month old baby girl and am worried that when she grows up her bottm jaw will stick out more than her top jaw.

I have this problem and am concerned that she will have the same.

I have noticed lately that when she makes noises her bottm gums show and you cant see her top gums, she talks like she is sticking her bottm gum out.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Would I be able to get NHS train tracks for my jaw that is moving forward?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Julian, Back two years ago I had retainers to bring my jaw forward because it was 0.8 Mm forward than the bottom jaw. I could not keep the retainers in and had them for about 6months, now my jaw is naturally going forward, I measured it about it about 0.4mm. Now that its going forward its self, do you think the NHS will allow me to have ‘train track’ braces? Sorry about my terminology ! My two front teeth have stuck out since I was young, the other teeth are now pushing behind the two front teeth, making them stick out further and now a gap is occuring between the two teeth at the front. What sort of treatment would it require? Would the NHS accept me back? If not, how much would you think it would cost going private. Thanks very much.,
