QUOTE(NikkiDaTeddy @ May 30 2011, 03:31 PM) The teeth alignment will run a bit. But it can be corrected by the braces later. Jaw moving to left and right? and joint? I see. Thanks for sharing yea It has nothing to do with that. Cos my current treatment is not via surgery. Just screws on both side, above the last molar, then hook that with a spring. The Spring will do the pulling job by bringing the jaw further in.  wanna know that have you pay for monthly treatment fee (eg. doctor charge for pulling the wire, cleaning etc? how much have you spend in doing braces so far? |

QUOTE(FOnte @ May 30 2011, 07:48 PM) bautan, dr won't gurantee ur jaw will move right or left until the midline is match. fonte, ur problem happen during the treatment? or realize before you decided to put on braces?i also not very sure how dr will save my jaw by using the 'mechanism of braces'.. As you can refer from front page, shenay also have same case with me. And dr how told us same concept as braces will prevent my joints from being painful in future and it will slightly correct the jaw. In years to come, it will look better. So i dun really put high hope on it coz i already know it won't 100% corrected. But yet i want to try even is 20%. Worth or not worth, i think it depends on you, rite? Try to consult with different dr and u will know what to do. Shenay 's improvement will be big motivation for me. Thanks Shenay. Will wait ur post..  did ur joints wearing during the treatment? fonte, do you mind showing me the pic? im so worry, cant sleep well  |

QUOTE(Shenay @ May 31 2011, 07:08 PM) bauTan, of course braces would make it better and not worse. Honestly, many people have this problem of senget face. Just that some are more obvious, some are less obvious. Braces won't correct that 100% but it will make a change. Trust me lah, if there was anything I regretted, it would be getting my braces so late. No one would regret getting braces in my opinion. thanks shenay!shenay, your case is it known as facial asymmetry? |

QUOTE(Shenay @ Jun 24 2011, 01:18 PM) livon6699, greet him nicely and talk about the progress of your teeth (but not in an interrogating way) ? hahah i think during that 4months, he'll just leave your braces since doctors in other country won't want to take over a halfway case. 2.5 years does sound quite long, but after this period, never in your life again would you have to wear braces yep, shenay. the jaw shift to right/left side cause the face especially chin not evenly balance.FOnte, it depends if you dislike your chubby cheeks or not. For mine, I really dislike my jaw shape so I allow him to extract 2 wisdom and 2 on the upper jaw (also the last tooth). From my experience of asking 2 dentist, the wisdom tooth doesn't serve much of a purpose, so you're not losing out by extracting this. Then again, its always personal preference that matters  bauTan, by facial asymmetry do you mean my chin goes more to one side? do you have this problem? symmetry face 
both upper and lower jaw move 
the lower jaw move 
Facial Imbalances Small Lower Jaw – A small lower jaw may cause bite problems, such as not being able to bite into food. It can also cause your chin to look receded. Your upper teeth may jut out in front of or overlap your lower teeth. Big Lower Jaw – Chewing may be difficult if you have a big lower jaw. Your chin also may appear too far forward. Your lower teeth may jut out in front of or overlap your upper teeth. Long Upper Jaw – Some of your teeth may not meet, making it difficult to chew, if you have a long upper jaw. Small Upper Jaw – Your upper lip may appear sunken in and your upper teeth may look receded if you have a small upper jaw. Open Bite – If most or all of your teeth do not meet you have an open bite. This will make it difficult to bite or chew food. You also may not be able to close you lips without considerable effort. Facial Asymmetry (uneven jaw) – Facial asymmetry is the result of over or under developed jaws on one side or the other. Your upper or lower teeth may have shifted over to one side, which can make biting and chewing awkward. This post has been edited by bauTan: Jun 24 2011, 05:38 PM |

QUOTE(Shenay @ Jun 24 2011, 11:20 PM) livon6699, better not ask him to speed up the progress =x I'm scared that it won't turn out as good as when you follow the proper time =/ I started power chain after 1 year and 3 months!! shenay, urs are both upper and lower jaw moved or just lower jaw moved?bauTan, ah yes, mine shifts towards the right side. It is still imbalanced right now, but it doesn't look so obvious anymore because my jawline is more defined now. heh I hope by the end of my treatment, it will be very minimal! FOnte, ohh no  no wonder you need more time to think ! Try asking him instead of that, any other alternatives? tomatonz, ohh ! so you have not repositioned your screws before! Dr How told me he will have to reposition mine in the future So upsetting, again he's gonna insert them in some other places. I didn't feel any pain ever since getting the power chain though, both upper and lower. Oh hahaha teeth will get shorter? I hope you're smiling more often now! I will start smiling more when I have a nice smile soon! hehdo you know what cause ur jaw shifted? is it wrong biting or the TMJ problem? does it cause ur jaw pain? |

QUOTE(livon6699 @ Jun 27 2011, 09:33 PM) just went for review today! livon, how much for the screw installations?bad news, dr how thinks that i have to extract two tooth..because i "sha ya". upper and lower tooth difference of 7mm. can don extract, but need to wear a lot of rubber bands and also SCREWS. when i heard of screws(pain, cost, hard to take care), i said i don wan the screws! and even if putting in screws and rubber bands, the gaps can only minimized to 3mm-4mm. sigh! no matter how, i will have to undergo that extraction. late or early, still extraction. so, tmr, 1500, im going to extract two tooth! damn, i dont know if i made the right decision. another two healthy tooth will be gone ! sob sob! |
