I have had toothache and bad teeth for as long as can remember, even as a 6 year old. I'm planning on getting a full mouth implant done and I was wondering if the implanted teeth can be fixed so I no longer have an underbite? My underbite is very slight as is my upper and lower teeth are aligned. Or is it necessary to have a jaw reduction surgery,?
I have a broken front tooth (lower jaw). It probably should have been fixed with a crown years ago, but my dentist just reconstructed it the best he could at the time. I want to get an impact for the tooth now, but my new dentist wants me to correct my underbite first as he feels the impact may be compromised due to the cross bite later on. The cost of both is way over my budget for the time being. Do I really need to fix the underbite?
Office one said they would take a few months to open up space for an implant($$$), have the implant done, then few months of braces, surgery, then braces again for a total of 2 years to finish up. Office two said an implant is not necessary, and what they would be doing is aligning the teeth so that top 1st premolar meets bottom canine, 2nd premolar hits bottom 1st premolar and so on. It would take less time to align, surgery, then more braces to align, total of ~15 months. Other costs equal.
I still have a fistula, and have been told a bone graft is a must. I have a bad underbite as well. The place I went locally doesn't deal with insurance at all. I can't continue to live like this. Glue from dentures creeps thru fistula and I have to pick it out with a q-tip. I can't eat hardly anything. Any organizations that may help??? I also am curious as to any problems w implants???
Ive been to the dentist and they told me im missing two front teeth..i dnt know why they just never came out. thats the reason i have then underbite. and i wanted to get different opinions. Do i really need surgery? or dental implants can fix it?

I took off my braces bottom teeth shifted bottom right incisor shifted forward overlaping top right incisor never got retainer had right bottom incisor removed got braces again to close gap now want gap opened for an implant can it be done
when i was growing up i developed underbite and my lower jaw is protruding. I am currently wearing full set of denture in the upper part. I am planning to get a permanent full upper dental impants as well as jaw surgery to correct my underbite. I am wondering which procedure should go first and for how long will it take to fully heal and correct? Many thanks!
