Ive overbite and my dentist suggested to get my jaw broken can u advice?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
HI, I have an overbite, but I went to the dentist this week and they said my bottom jaw has grown enough to meet the top. So I would need braces then I would need to get my jaw broken and then braces again. I am very worried about this but I hate my teeth and the way they look. Would you be able to give me any advice? Or information to look into about realigning my jaw? Thank you very much

Would I be able to get jaw realignment surgery done on the NHS

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
I am 24 years old. About ten years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 17 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back and to move my jaw back to the right as it leans more on the left. Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. I was discharged at that time. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased and my jaw leans more towards the left than it used to. My jaws ache quite often and I have difficulty breathing through my nose, and it feels blocked alot of the time, I have read that this can be caused because my top jaw is too far back. I am almost certain that the orthodontist told me that if I changed my mind, the option was always there until I was 25 years old. I am 25 in December of this year and am worried that I won’t be able to get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Could you tell me if I would be able to get this done on the NHS now? Many Thanks,

My daughter is 10 and the dentist has advice to have crown fitted on her is it the best option?

Friday, August 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi. My daughter has had trouble with her teeth since she was a toddler. I have been advised that this was due to her having suffered from a severe bout of Chicken Pox at the time when her tooth enamel would have been forming. Now aged ten, her dentist has advised that when all her adult teeth are through, she should have crowns fitted. Can you tell me, is this her best option? Also, because of her age, this will be done ‘on’ the NHS. What materials should we expect to be used? I’ve been told crowns should last between 10-15 years, if the materials used are of good quality. I’d hate for her to be troubled by her teeth all her life. Thanks.

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!
