An appliance opposite to an expander to move teeth inwards?
« on: December 05, 2016, 03:10:26 AM »
I'm not sure where's best to post this, any advice I appreciate. I am going around in circles on the internet day after day. I am after an appliance that that will bring my teeth inwards in the opposite an expander or alf appliance will do, I cannot find anything. As many of you may know I had an expander in my mouth in 2011 the dentist did not have a licence and expanded with so much force this pushed all my teeth out of alignment, my arch is now very wide which is not my true bite this has coursed my lower jaw to fall back, this is why the two jaw surgeries I had were a disaster, there must be an appliance  that does the opposite to what an expander does. Does anybody know of any device? Anything? Braces alone won't do this, the last dentist I saw promised she would and left me with straight teeth in the same position as before and £12000 spend.

Showing my upper arch it was expanded this wide, too wide for my lower jaw

Looks like orthodontic expansion to me. If your teeth are still in good enough shape, should be easy enough to fix with braces. Pick a more reputable orthodontist this time. Expansion rarely works in adults and when it fails, it causes problems along the way.
