Jaw Surgery for OPEN BITE - Advice?!


Question:

Jaw Surgery for OPEN BITE - Advice?

Seeking advice regarding jaw surgery for open bite on 17 year old. Has had many years of ortho starting at age 9. Open bite keeps returning. Has had expander, tongue crib, 3 sets of braces, speech therapy. Anyone had this done? What were results, problems etc. All advice appreciated. Getting so frustrated and exhausted.


Answers:

I went throught everything you have done except for the jaw surgery. Wore braces 3 times, had expander, speech therapy and then after all of that had to get dentures because after all of the moving of my teeth - get this- the bones had been moved around so much that there were hardly any roots left. So if I had to do it all again I would say go with the surgery or just leave it all alone. An open bite is not the end of the world and yes it will always come back. Good luck!
