Wacko Orthodontist???!
Question: Wacko Orthodontist!?!?!?
I've been going to this orthodontist for a while, and finished "phase 1" as they call it about a year ago!. When I went back for them to talk about getting braces again, they were kind of weird!. They said for one, that my face and jaw line "isn't how an artist would draw it" and that for one upset me!. They want for me to go and get my jaw "cracked" so I could be "perfect", but this would require surgery and they would have to put me under!. My mom said no way! They also complained about not all of my teeth being the same size and how some were "too small", which I find ridiculous!. Thye wanted to cap all my teeth! I'm not trying to be a snob, but I like my face and I think it's pretty!No one's every insulted my jaw, and many boys have had crushes on me (I'm not into the whole dating thing though) Do I have a right to be upset with their requests!?!?!?!? Is that stuff all necessary and should the ortho have been critisizing me!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Well if they are just dissing your face, that's really rude!.
I would go to another orthodontist, and see what they say,
but go to one that is really friendly,
one that your friends go to,
and if they say you need it because of your bite then you do,
but it's your face, and you decide what you want it to look like!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

wow!.!.i personally believe that people at the dentist/ortho
look for every little detail to get you to do more
unnecessary work!.
I say, do what makes YOU happy!.
Who cares what the orho says, it's
your face!.!.your decision to what
you want done!.
Maybe your mom will let you get your jaw broken as a birthday gift!.!. You never know!.!.

If the dentist is concerned only with how your face looks, I'd tell him to forget it!.
BUT, is he concerned with your actual bite!? If he feels your jaw and bite are imperfect, you will have problems all your adult life!. Such as: pain, trouble with digestion, tooth wear, etc!.
Find out if the problem is purely for looks or if there is an underlying physical problem which needs correcting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
