Hey
I have jaw problems, cosmetically. My right jaw is more flat than my left jaw. If I look up, I can see imbalance in my jaw. I am a type of person who wants it all natural. And it kind of annoy me. I read that wrong placement of teeth can affect the jaw, is that true? And I have worn braces, because my two of my front teeth were crooked. Then they gave me palatebraces because of overbite. I also miss one tooth in the middle of my right jaw, can it occur because of the missing tooth?
Can I do something to balance my jaw? I told my dentist he was kind of sceptical but now he suggests me to wear braces again, so my teeth move forward and there will be a place for a teeth behind. Why cant he make a gap where the the actual tooth are missing than move my teeth forward?
I hope you will answer
