Buck Teeth

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I am wondering something. When my teeth were wired

together they met. However now that they are unwired my bottom jaw is

pulling back at least 2 cm where my top teeth poke way out like buck

teeth. If I push my bottom chin out my teeth meet but when relaxed and

talking that bottom jaw receds again. I am trying to push my lower

chin out so it will be " trained " to meet but I haven't a clue if this

is even logical. Did anyone have this problem? What did your OS

suggest? I know it is too soon but I am scared my lower jaw was moved

too far back and is only correctable with........another procedure. I

just can't do that I don't think. So many of you are on your second

surgery and I feel for you.

Jane,

The bottom teeth are supposed to be behind the top teeth when you close

your mouth. That is normal. Do your back teeth touch? That is the

important thing. The front teeth will take care of themselves when

chewing even though they don't touch tip to tip.
