Bottom Teeth Moving Forward

2018-09-08 19:37:54
My bottom front teeth(lower jaw) have been moving forward for a while. I feel the way I close my mouth has changed considerably. I reasearched on this a bit and found that I have an overbite. I have been to a dentist regarding this problem and he suggested orthognathic surgery. I found that this is a very difficult surgery with a very long recovery period and high chances of complications after the surgery. This has really affected my confidence and I am constantly aware that my face doesn't look good because of the overbite. I had braces for 2 years as a teenager, but I feel the treatment had prematurely ended. What are the options I have to fix this issue?

Without seeing ur impressions and ur clinical picture it is difficult to judge what is the case and what treatment planning is required. So share ur intraoral pictures and the cast of alupper and lower jaw

You can consult an orthodontist and check if braces will make a difference. After braces retainers are to be worn for a few years to prevent relapse. Take 1 or 2 opinions before you decide
