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?

In 2001 I had Sagittal Split Osteotomy surgery now i am having a lot of problems can you advice

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
Okay from the beginning: In 2001 I had Sagittal Split Osteotomy surgery to correct an overbite. At that time all wisdom teeth and four other molars were removed. Since then no problems other than slight numbness in my chin. I can live with that. 3 years ago I had a crown fitted after a tooth which was broken during the removal of the other molars finally cracked. after three months in pain and switch of dentists it was decided that I had to have a second crown fitted as the first was not correctly fitted and there was a gap leading to infection and pain. I was given antibiotics. Last year I had to have root canal treatment on this tooth as the pain was not going away and the throbbing started. Second course of antibiotics. 3 months ago the crowned tooth started giving me problems with hot and cold and my jaw throbs like crazy and i’ve had to give up coffee (no suger in it, just the coffee itself!)as it made it worse. Saw the dentist – he gave me my third course of antibitoics. Now my jaw has started clicking and I don’t know where to turn. The dentist tells me its likely the tooth needs to be pulled but i’m worried that its the jaw thats the problem rather than the tooth. I’ve lost all confidence in dentists and even though i’m with the NHS this tooth has cost me over £1000 already.

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

Injection from dentist caused bruising swelling and loss of feeling

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
Hello Mr. Moore, Oct.08 I was given 3%Citanest dental with Octapressin. This is the injection that appears to have caused me severe bruising swelling and loss of feeling in my left jaw after partially removing a nerve.Discussions with my GP resulted in speculation that it had entered the blood stream.Thanks for listening.
