My lower jaw is further forward than my top jaw. Is there a way to change this and can I get it on the NHS?

May 18th, 2012

Hello Mr Maini, I’m 20 years old and have been very concious of my appearance since before I can remember. My lower jaw is further forward than my top jaw. This makes my mouth slightly open constantly. I have to physically think about shutting it all the time. I never wanted any operations doing when I was younger because I was always too scared. I was thinking there could be a way with some kind of brace? I read that those big cages on peoples heads sometimes are used for cases like mine, is this true? What kind of time scale do procedures like this take? Do you have to wear them all day or can i just wear them at night? Can i get this done on the NHS? Just really wanted some information about it before i go to the dentist. cheers

My wife needs help with her braces when briefly returning from India. Can you help?

March 5th, 2012

Hi,
My wife’s jaw and teeth need to be straightened.
They are a bit pushed forward.
She is in India now. She cotacted her dentist there and he can fix it using either American technique or English technique.
But, it is a year process. She will be travelling to the UK next month.
So, she cannot continue her treatment in India.
The doctor in India will put the applicances for straightening the teeth (may be American technique) and she needs the help of a doctor to check it every month.
Is it something you can help?
Regards
