Orthodontics is a medical treatment. I've had braces for more than 2 years, and double jaw surgery to correct a severe overbite. Having a functional bite and not losing my teeth at 50 was more important than having a "Hollywood smile" (which I won't have at the end of my treatment and that's Ok).
Thank you so much for your input I was wondering if you could make a video about having a tilted/canted smile (like when a side of your teeth slants down or up causing your smile to look crooked) and how it’s fixed with braces? I never see any information or videos regarding that issue and I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
That’s a good topic. It depends on whether it is a true dental or skeletal cant or if it’s hyperactive musculature of the lips on one side. Skeletal and muscular cants are difficult to correct. Mild dental cants can be addressed orthodontically with or without the use of TADS/mini implants depending on the severity.
Because your question is quite specific, it’s impossible to diagnose without records and ideally an in-person exam. Schedule an appointment with an orthodontist to obtain more information.
@@TrayMinder understandable, thanks. One more thing. Do you think i should make an appointment with a orthodontist or a maxillofacial surgeon? To correct slanted smile line and jawline asymmetry issues ?
