From what I understand they saw the jawbone in 1/2 and slide the out part forward and the use screws to put it in place. I would like to straighten my teeth but they say they would have to move my jaw forward afterwards because I would have a large overbite. My top teeth tilt back currently but if straightend they would tilt slightly forward creating a space between my top and bottom teeth.
It was funny the first time I went to the orthodontist. They had me fill out a form that was obviously meant for someone younger. One question was "Has his voice changed?" so I asked the cute dental assistant "From when? This morning?" They then asked if I was happy with my profile which was something I've never been concerned about before. The doctor told me I was fortunate to have a really huge jaw (one of the biggest he has seen apparantly) and a decent "chin nub" because with my overbite I should have a recessed chin. So I asked if what he was telling me was that I had the jawbone of an ass. He laughed but I don't think he knew how to answer right away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The only thing stopping me from getting the braces is the jaw surgury. I am told there is a risk of losing all sensation in your lower lip due to nerve damage. It would sort of be like the freezing you get at the dentist only it would be permanent. Good luck and let us know how everything works out. Maybe if it works for you I will reconsider getting mine done. |
