I have to have more periodontal work done on my jaw, is it going to be the same as the surgery I received before?

Friday, July 16th, 2010
Q.
I have severe bone loss and my periodontist wants to do osseous surgery on my upper and lower right jaw,(4 or more teeth upper and lower. I have already had the periodontal work done on the other side of my jaw, and I’m wondering is this is the same as lifting the flap of gum and cleaning the teeth, bone or whatever, which is what he did before? Can you explain to me if this is different, or what? Thank you.,

Are there any alternatives available for my daughter other than jaw surgery?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
Hiya, my 17 year old daughter has an overbite and has been told she will need jaw surgery before anything can be done to straighten her teeth. She really doesn’t want to have to have any surgery and I noticed in one of your replies you said that the jaw continues to grow until the age of 18 to 19. Is there an alternative to correct her jaw such as blocks or she mentioned something about rubber bands that some of her friends had. We did ask our orthodontist last year but he seemed to think that it wouldn’t work as she is fully grown now. She desperately would like to give this a go rather than undergo surgery, what do you think, might it work? Please help? Many thanks, Diana.,

I have a squint bite invisalign or other brace treatment fix this?

Friday, April 9th, 2010
Q.
I have a squint bite that means my chin goes off to one side when I close my teeth. This is also starting to cause me pain as when my jaws are shut some teeth push against each other further displacing each other. I have attended the dental hospital in Glasgow but I was told that I would need an operation to break my jaw then reset then possibly take bone from somewhere else to put into my jaw. As you can imagine this was all very scary stuff however it is a teaching hospital so I think they maybe looking at the most extreme course of action. Surely braces or invisalign treatment would be possible. I do not have much money so going private is probably not possible. Can you tell me what I could be covered for by the NHS and also where else I could seek treatment other than the dental hospital? Thanks,
A.

Any recommendations to fix my underbite?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Q.
hi there I again am very self concious about my underbite. I had 2 surgeries years ago and my jaw relapsed both times. I was thinking of venners for my upper jaw longer then maybe the venners might hit a lower tooth. I did have one cosmetic look very quickly at my mouth and said I have 3 teeth that are crowded in the lower front. He said maybe 3 implants with venners would work be I did not see him again for a cast. I’m 45 now and seeing as what I went through I gave up on my lack of smile. any recomendations,

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,
A.
I recommend surgery if you hav… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is the surgery that i need available on the NHS?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Q. I am 21 years old. About 6 years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 15 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back 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. 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. I am 21 and would like to know if i can get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Many Thanks,,
