What kind of treatment can i get for jaw protrusion?
Q. Dear Dr.Caplan I had braces at 26 and removed them 18 months later with excellent results. However, 10 years later, I now find a slight upper jaw protrusion. I did not continue using the retainer as long as I should have, could this be related? Can this now be treated without braces? I’m now 38. Thank you
A. It will be because of lack of retention time. These cases can usually be treated using clear aligners such as invisalign. Get treatment as soon as you can to reduce the amount of treatment that is necessary.
