Inward Tilting Teeth
CAjaw:
Did anyone else out there try to have there underbite corrected orthodontically when they were younger, resulting in lower front teeth that tilt way inward?
This is the final problem I need to have corrected orthodontically before I can have surgery. The problem is, it is taking FOREVER. I have had braces for a year now with no end in sight. I know it can take time to reverse previous orthodontic work, but more than a year?
Did anyone else have this issue, and if so, how long did it take to correct? I am almost to the point where I want to consult with a new ortho...

you should consult with another ortho. i don't know the specifics of your problem, but a year sounds unreasonable for what you need to have had done. consult with a couple.

My lower teeth are a tilt a little inward, and my top forward,
I'm not sure to what extent do yours tilt inward but the orthodontists I consulted gave me timeframes of 6months to 1year and a little for everything tops, and I talked about expanding both arches too...
I probably wont start treatment till the end of the year I think, sorry I cant be of more help.
Did you consult with more orthos before starting treatment? I consulted with many and while is not wise to move teeth fast, some just want to have you more time in the chair $$ That's why I prefer the ones that give a set price based on < than X months..

Mine quoted me 6mo of pre-surgical ortho with 6mo-1yr post surgical ortho. That seemed very reasonable and she came highly recommended, so I did not consult with anyone else. That was a huge mistake on my part.
