Suggest Treatment For Minor Dis-harmonies Of Jaw Position After Debanding
I ve had my braces on for almost 4 years and my teeth are now straight but it s my jaw that I m having trouble with, one side is perfect and touching correctly but the other side is not. The rubber bands I use to have over corrected my bite so now I need to pull it over a little bit. I put in my rubber bands as needed and my jaw is now symmetrical and touching where it s needed. But when I take my rubber band out to eat after 2 minuets it moves back into its old place. How do I fix it, my teeth move relatively fast and I want to get my braces off before my first year of highschool starts. Is there any way to make them stay in place. ( Other information: I have 2 dis formed teeth they are the ones on the side of the big front teeth ( sorry I don t know technical names ) they don t have a lot of enamel which was a birth defect. Also my sharp tooth on the right isn t as sharp as my other so it leaves a little gap where it should be touching. And I have a small gap when my teeth touch when my jaw is symmetrical it s in the front bottom teeth ones longer than the other by a little bit it makes a little gap when I close my mouth) How do I fix all this in less than 2 months?
Hello, Try taking some ibuprofen 400-600 mg three times a day for a few weeks to see if the inflammation around your jaws will decrease and let the joint get back in normal position. If it does not then you need to see your doctor or dentist because if this misalignment is not corrected then see your dentist or orthodontist soon. Regards
