Re: do I have an orthognathic problem

[Guest guest]

Hi Fran, yes do post when you go talk to someone. Personally I have

only talked to dentist who all think I am crazy or imangining

things....

For me I think that part of my problem is bad posture including a

forward head position that makes my jaw retrude back

Anyways, do post I will read. For anyone else, my problem is

described as the original post on this e-mail. Please do give

suggestions if you have them!

make a determantion if you have a jaw problem? I know some people are

defecient in the jaw and have to have it moved forward. Mine was the

opposite my was brought up and back. Hope this helps.
