Twin Block Appliance to Reduce 8mm Overjet in Adult?

March 10, 2013
Asked By:kittymeowmeow in los angelos

I had braces for 4 years with unsatisfactory results, and am left with a 8mm over jet. Is it possible to use a twin block appliance to move my lower jaw forward as an adult? I will not consider lower jaw surgery. How would I find an orthodontist that successfully uses functional appliances in the Seattle area?
