It is 4am and i havent slept for weeks now because of my jaw.
Let me tell you my story and hopefully some of you can give me advice or opinions anything is welcome.
I am a class 3 - heridatry my brother and father and fathers family side have it.
12years old - had 2 year fixed braces with 4 teeth extracted
19years old- put braces again because not happy with profile
now i am 25- my fixed retainer on my lower jaw broke (you can see my upper retainer is still there in the xray i took last week)... i dint fix it so result... slowly noticing relapse again...
went to the orthodentist... he said either ill put new lower retainer for 200€ to stop further relapse and live happily with this smile or you want invisalign for 6000€ or carriere motion with fixed appliance for little less than that.
all above 3 orthodontist live in different countries since i travel alot.
NOW
in all my years going to the orthodontists, first Dr is a professor in a uni and last one has 20 years experience. None have ever mentioned surgery for me.
I am attaching my Cephalometric xray with its analysis and panaoramic xray. i took them last week.
I want to hear what you all have to say?
what is my problem exactly?
what should i get done?
