Thanks for the replies. Yes I think I will go for a consultation with the ortho. I think me & the lady today just had different ideas, Im happy with minor alterations which I think will improve my smile, rather than going into it on a major scale to get it absolutely perfect. So when invisalign ...

Another edit I meant to say - would I be better to see an orthodontist rather than a cosmetic dentist who does invsalign, there is an ortho near me who does invisalign but he would not be able to sort out the veneer issue. Both the ortho & the cosmetic dentist are listed on the invisalign websit...

sorry
I meant £2995, or £1995 for 1 set (not 3995 & 2995 as above)

Hi, Im looking to get invisalign, my upper teeth are not too bad but Id like them pushed outwards a bit & tilted outwards a bit. Just a bit of a tidy up really to make a wider arch. My lower teeth Im fairly happy with but maybe they could do with tilting outwards a little. When I was younger I h...

ps this is what it looks like for anyone who might be interested

Hi, I have posted in here previously, I thought I needed lower jaw surgery. I have been messed about no end on my journey starting with my dentist referral to an orthodontist & then the hospital called me the day before my appt to say the person I had my appt with was an oral surgeon not an orth...

What was / is the reason for your orthognathic surgery? Are most people here because of pain / health / unable to chew reasons? Im wondering as my reason for 'wanting' to go through this is cosmetic. Looking back through some older posts I saw someone else who was here for cosmetic reasons and some ...

I guess it depends on how the teeth would look after the jaw was moved forward.

My 1st ortho appt is in 2 weeks time now, its an nhs appt. Any advice on what to ask welcome. Bearing in mind that my bite is fine, my lower jaw is recessed and I think my upper jaw is slightly recessed too. To be honest, the major reason for this is cosmetic. Is it ok to say this on the nhs? Its no...

I have just received an email from webshots stating that 2 of my pictures are illegal and have been removed as they either contain pornographic material, violent material or nudity. They were the last 2 pics I posted of my profile with my lower jaw pushed forwards. Showing my face or teeth must be i...

No I do not seem to think that the gums remain intact when the bone is moved. I am talking about the upper teeth being moved with braces if I do not need upper jaw surgery.

Im obviously not explaining myself very well. I will let you know what the ortho says in a few week time. Thanks

Ive added 2 more pics, 1 with my lower jaw pushed forwards and mouth closed, 1 with my lower jaw pushed forwards and mouth open to show my gums, what I mean is do you think there is enough room in my upper gums for my top teeth to be pushed forwards/outwards so that they fit correctly over my lower ...

Thanks Dr Tam

AF104 - I mean if my upper teeth were brought forward with braces to fit with my lower jaw being brought forward surgically. The upper gums dont have room for the teeth to be pushed out enough. Will post a pic later.

twinjoy your results are amazing! Looking at your before profile, I think my upper jaw may be further back than yours? Not sure, but hopefully I can avoid double jaw surgery. I just dont think there is room in my gums for my upper teeth to move out as far as needed though. I have an appt with an ort...
