I constantly hit my front teeth on my bottom teeth when I speak. My ortho doesnt know why! He says my bite looks perfect but even that too, it feels crooked to me and I catch my back cheek on my right side when I chew. He wants me to wait until the bite settles to see if it fixes my issues. Why did he take braces off knowing I had these issues? Im feeling regretful I let him take them off. Does anyone know why Im hitting my front teeth on my bottom when I talk? Maybe I can share it with him.
I was advised by my orthodontist to have 4 premolars extracted and I had 2 on the right side extracted last month and I can feel my face has shrunk on that side, I am also concerned about the long term issues of retracting teeth as it will lead to reduced tongue space and a narrow airway, please help me with any suggestions on what I should do next, I am from Chennai, India.
Can my Crossbite be fixed by just using a pallet expander+braces+rubber bands? If not, is surgery even worth it? My only concern is really aesthetic because fortunately so far (Im only 32) my teeth havent caused jaw pain or headaches. Slight teeth wear but Id consider veneers in the future if needed.
I had upper braces for 3 years, then both braces for 2 years. I wear permanent retainer now, I notice that I have a little bit overbite on 4 of upper front tooth. Is it possible because of the permanent retainer placement mistake?, It doesn't look like this after the 3 years upper braces only treatment and when I use braces. Is there anything I can do to make it straight again without having another braces treatment?
My left side of my teeth is higher than my right and my lower teeth curves a little higher. Ive had braces for 4 years and my teeth is straight, and Im close to get them off. However, Im not happy with my results and I want to get it fix. My ortho tells me to wear my elastics. Is this something braces can fix it or is it because my face is uneven. I see it especially when I take a picture of my teeth and i invert it.
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?
I used to wear braces. I never had any extractions of my teeth and nor did I have my arches expanded. My gonions are assymetrical. My left gonial angle is lower than my right one. In general what can be done to lower the gonial angle on both sides? Expanders? Can building the masseter muscles help achieve my goal?
