new here guys and really need your opinions
« on: November 06, 2013, 07:49:22 AM »
hi guys

i have an asymmetrical jaw but i went to 3 surgeons who told me that i don't need surgery and that my situation is not
that bad that sould just accept it. as you can see from the pics my jaws are unilateral...my left side is actually pretty good but
the right side of my jaw(upper and lower) is collapsed and going inwardly towards the tongue.
when i brought up the problem with my dentist she told me i was crazy and i didnt need it at all that i was "looking
for problems". this thing really bother me and i would like your opinions on the subject and if anybody has the same issue
and could possibly help and guide me in any way would be much appriciated.
posted two pics. if you want more pics just say so and i will upload.  thanks.

This is actually after braces.   My jaw shifted to the left 
When i got my first braces at 17 and the ortho extracted one tooth from my left upper jaw to make room for the teeth instead of extracting two teeth, at the time my parents did not have the money to get me braces on my lower teeth,  only for my upper teeth so that is the result.
I am thinking that both jaws need to be expanded because there is a discrepancy between the arches of each jaw.

My jaw shifted to the left because when i had my first braces i had money only for my upper teeth and my lower teeth were crucked also so my ortho pulled out one tooth from my upper teeth in my left side so that what made the shift and my i only chew on the left side.

You can thank that ortho for your current situation.....  Amazing how these orthos get away with what they do.
Get many opinions before letting anyone touch you in the future.

What's done is done.  I need to fix this right now
So if anyone has any suggestions i would be more
Than happy to hear it.  I think i need to expand both of my
Jaws.  I have been doing some reading and i think i need
Surgecly assisted Rapid palate expander on upper jaw and distraction osteogenrsis on the bottom jaw. 
Any opinions?

I actually went to 3 surgeons, the first one told me that he can Surgecly break my jaws but it won't be wowoo-that didn't make me feel so confident in him and the other two said they couldn't help me and that i was fine that there is a little asymmetry,  i think that they just didn't know how to correct the situation.

The procedure is called distraction osteogenesis or symphysil distraction... Something like that.  I saw some cases online like 30 patients who did the procedure and everything was Allright with them, no injury to the condyle.  What did you mean by flaring of the teeth?   I'm not from the us.
