you mean like when you can push the bottom ones totally behind the front ones, and have a gap of maybe1cm between the bottom of ur front tooth & where the back ones are ?

Originally posted by Yan Damn man. So you basically know what I'm going through. I don't smile either because I feel stupid.

aye, it's one of those things where you get really self conscious about it. Also with the jaw not being level, my teeth grind against each other so are weird shapes in places. Gotta have them all crowned after the op to try & make it look normal.

My lower front teeth sit firmly behind my upper front teeth, I can't move them back any further back. By firmly, I mean there's no room for a toothpick. If you have a 1cm gap, I would say (and don't quote me on this, I'm not a dentist) that's pretty big. But technically, shouldn't it not matter if the resting position of your jaw is the "normal" one?

btw Yan, it's not really noticable.. not in your pics anyways. i wouldn't worry about surgery unless its something that causes you dire pain.

mines the other way as I said, but again I want the surgery, I have to lose some weight as i have let myself go a lot lately, but soon most of my problems will be gone so I can work on it, but it does suck to have it, and it's painful too

me also, but it's not because of my jaw, it's because i never wore my retainer when i was younger.

Originally posted by Xenocreator_PG_ I have the same bite as this. My lower jaw is back a bit; Like a miss bite. My jaw is pretty flexible though, & usually sits forward with the top incisor teeth. Sometimes I get lazy & it slips back & flush up against the top molars.

Mine too its like that, so we have.. Inverse Prognathism?

Your lower teeth should be behind the upper ones. Here is a more accurate description:

quote:

The lower back teeth will fit "inside" the "line" of the back upper teeth and intermesh precisely with the upper back teeth one half tooth in front of the upper back teeth. The lower front teeth will lightly touch the back of the upper front teeth. No teeth will be misaligned or rotated, nor will there be any observable crowding or spaces of the teeth.

I'd have to post a lot of pics before you can start noticing it fairly defined. The problem is, I have a really ugly smile and lost my photogenic/slightly above average looks because of this jaw. Not to mention, I can't chew my food properly (leads to indigestion) due to my jaw tiring quickly.

I'm sorry to hear that. As long as you tackle one thing at a time, you'll eventually be in tip top shape with a nice smile.

I'm sure there's a way to still fix that, no?

Snagged from Wikipedia:

Retrognathism is when the upper front teeth are 3mm+ prominent from the lower front teeth. It usually means you have a short mandible.

I have a very slight overbite, but when I went to the denist he told me I had great teeth - on top of that I always had people asking me if I had braces when I was younger because my teeth are well aligned... I never did and more surprisingly than that is the fact that I had never been to a dentist, the first time I went to one was 2 years ago, had one cavity to fill. I think the next time I go I might get a bleaching along with a cleaning.

Both are going to pwn your enamel. If you want to keep them pearly whites healthy, stay away!

Alright so... I'm meeting with the surgeons on the 18th of this month. We'll be scheduling a bunch of mandatory pre-operation stuff (like a CT scan, MRI, etc.) which should run me through the end of the month, which is around the time when I'd be having the surgery.

To add to the of this entire situation, my upper teeth are moving apart, leaving a big gap between my front teeth. Either way, I'll get some Invisalign's to treat my teeth after the operation.

By the way, for people just joining the thread, this is what they'll be doing to my bottom jaw:

The day's here.

I hope they give me good news.

Thanks, man.

Did you get a chance to discuss the operation with a doctor or a surgeon this year, so far? Was interested in knowing if you got an estimate on how much your operation would cost.

mine's free due to the national health service here, but it comes at a price, as it's all taken from taxes paid anyway, and the service is in a major crisis (think too many people in suits, not enough doing the actual 'work') and they messed my teeth up when they put a brace on anyway, i'm still recovering (and it's costing a fortune for the actual dental work) but another thing being investigated on me could be linked to why the teeth aren't greatly strong anyway. A lot of ifs & but's at the moment.
