One side of maxilla protrudes - what do I need to do to fix my teeth? (photos)

April 18, 2023
Asked By:traumakween in Metomen, Wisconsin

I had state insur. braces twice as a kid by the same ortho. When I was 17 she put a hyrax expander in my mouth that basically disfigured my maxilla and highlighted the problems that were already there. Now one side of my maxilla protrudes further out and it has ruined my already low self esteem for the past 10 years. My teeth look awful from every angle and I want to fix this issue but every time I see an ortho they don't take my seriously and offer Invisalign. What will actually work?
