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.,

Would orthodontic surgery be able to fix my severe overbite?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Q.
As a result of childhood thumbsucking, i have a severe overbite problem with my front teeth. Unfortunately, due to being so unhappy with my appearance i foolishly decided to neglect my teeth in the hope that the problem would go away to the extent they are now in a poor condition. I have belatedly realised i would like to address my dental problems. I appreciate that without an examination of my mouth you cannot provide me with a substantive answer but i would very much like to know if orthodontic treatment and surgery would be possible. Thank you for any assistance,
A.

My bottom teeth do not need braces but my top teeth do, can this be done?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I am 28 and thinking of getting fixed braces to correct my overbite of approx 9mm. The orthodontist I have seen thinks he will be about to get it down to around 3mm with fixed braces. My bottom teeth are straight so I do not think I will need braces on them. Would you always advise to have both top and bottom done? Thanks.,
