My dentist said i need to have my jaw broken and taken back can you advice me on the procedure

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Q.
As a teenager I was given the option of having braces but obviously as a teenager I refused to have a brace at that age!! At 33 I now wish I had. My bite is so far apart it now gets me down when I see my smile on pictures etc. I saw a dentist last year who told me the only way I could now rectify this would be to have my jaw broken and taken back. I am keen to hear of this procedure and any other procedures which may help. Although I am desperate to do something I am also concerned on what the cost would be as my teeth also need quite a lot of work due to staining etc. If there was one thing I could change about myself it would be my smile. Can you please advise me on any procedures, clinics and costs? I live in the Northwest of England. Thank you.

My dentist recommends surgery for my jaw i wonder short root tooth will affect the surgery

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Q.
Hi. i’m 25 and have recently been referred to a hospital consultant for suspected TMJ disorder, as i have been experiencing severe jaw pain, neck pain and ear ahce, my dentist recommends surgery because of my complex jaw. i also have a bad underbite of about 1cm and severe crowding of my lower teeth. when i was a teenager i had braces on my upper teeth, but never my lower teeth – they wanted to do jaw surgery but my parents refused. when i was 21 i found out i had shortening of the roots on my top teeth. could you tell me if it is possible to have jaw surgery with braces only on my bottom teeth as i’m sure they will not want to apply a brace to my top teeth? or will the short roots prevent them from doing the surgery at all? Thank you for any help you can give me.

My adult canines are squint and pointing at top front teeth is this a serious problem?

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’m 15 years old and still have my top baby canines. Having recently been to the dentist, i was giving an X-ray to locate the adult canines. After looking at the X-ray we discovered that my adult canines are extremely squint and are pointing in the direction of my top front teeth. My dentist is reffering me to the Orthodontist to see what can be done about this. I was just wondering how serious this is, and how they would be planning to fix the problem? Could my dentist have stopped this happening by removing the baby canines before now?

The best thing would be to exp… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
