So apparently I have a Class II malocclusion?

---

Whats the deal here? Is it not possible to live with it? Am I doomed? How did people deal with this when there were no such things as orthodontics .
Class II malocclusion means you have an "overbite". It just means your top and bottom teeth are not aligned. You can live with it, as it is not really a real problem, just cosmetic. You are not doomed, and many people prefer to not fix the problem because surgery may be too expensive or just unnecessary.  (+ info)

What is the difference between TMJ and malocclusion?

---

I'm a dentist.

When you tear the anterior cruciate ligament in your knee, do you say, "I have ACL"? ACL stands for "anterior cruciate ligament", and "TMJ" stands for temporomandibular joint. The TMJ is simply an anatomical component of your body, i.e. the joint between your mandible and your head.

Malocclusion, on the other hand, is essentially "bad" occlusion, i.e. where one's maxillary teeth do not occlude with their mandibular teeth in the "proper" fashion. Some argue that this can lead to TMJ problems, but this relationship is debated among dental professionals.  (+ info)

How does one treat a Class II malocclusion (overbite) with lower jaw crowding. The Dr said he may break my jaw

---

I have a Class II malocclusion with moderate-severe crowding in my front lower teeth, and jaw misalignment. Only my front teeth touch when I bite down, unless I force my jaw into an uncomfortable position, and I'm starting to have sensitivity problems with the teeth AND the jaw because they're being ground into one another. My dentist said he could try braces and removing 2 teeth on top and 2 teeth on bottom, as well as a retainer, but he didn't think that would be quite as effective as option #2. He said my lower jaw is too small and he may have to break it, let it heal so that it becomes slightly bigger, and then take care of the other issues. I'm confused, and I have to say, scared about option 2. Does that generally work? I'm willing to wear a retainer for as long as I need to (he said probably for the rest of the time I have my teeth, I'll be wearing one at night). I'm 25 right now, and plan on getting started with either option in November.
Anyone with advice, please help.
Option #2 is the second choice for a reason. There are many cases in which the jaw has been broken to complete ortho therapy, with much success. It is not as bad as it sounds. But with the extractions and retainers, you also have a good shot of correcting your malocclussion. A bonded lingual retainer would also help keep your teeth in the proper position once your ortho therapy is complete.

Check with youe dentist to see if he/she has the software program that shows you what you'd look like with and without your jaw broken. He may nort have it as you have not heard of it up to now; but several orthodontists do have it.

Don't worry, everything dental is mental. If you anticipate pain or problems with your treatment, you'll psych yourself out! Just relax, I'm sure you'll be fine!  (+ info)

Can an Orthodontist and Oral Surgeon correct my Malocclusion 2 even though I have 8 veneers on uppers?

---

Thanks for the helpful information advice....... :^)
Yes.

There are types of bracket cements that can be glued on porcelain veneers.

Also, if you use Invisalign, which are plastic invisible trays that you change every two weeks to move your teeth, it doesn't matter whether you have veneers or not. However, this treatment is not usually used for severe malocclusion.  (+ info)

Can Invisalign useful for malocclusion? My teeth are about 7mm overjet?

---

I would really like to know what Invisalign can and can't do, thanks.
i had my teeth straightened, my teeth were about 5mm out and invisalign wouldnt ave worked so i had a fixed brace put on, i had it in for 18 months and hardly noticed!!! it is tightened every 6 weeks and the bands are changed so they stay white, ive had it off for 6 months and it was the best decision i ever made!!!  (+ info)

Fixing this type of malocclusion will most certainly change your appearance especially your profile. It will dramatically be improved. The only way to correct it is with orthodontics.  (+ info)
