Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yes but they don't touch unless I stick my jaw way out. When I relax there is over a cm space between the bottom and top and the top seem to poke out? If I push that chin out they do touch. Is this normal?? I know my jaw is still finding its way but it looks funny like my bottom is too far back unless I press the chin out? I'm use to my chin poking out on its own now I am having to push it out to appear normal! Jane > > > > > Hello everyone. I am wondering something. When my teeth were wired > > together they met.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Irene, Thank goodness! I have noticed throughout the day that when I bite down my teeth are in place its just when my teeth aren't clenched that my top teeth seem to protrude. I think maybe my jaw just doesn'tknowwhere togo. When I bite together it takes a second for my bottom teeth to find my top. Maybe the elastics will adjust the problem. I am still a little swollen too. Jane > > > > Yes but they don't touch unless I stick my jaw way out.
