Bite keeps slipping back?
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2018 9:07 am
Hello all. I have been in braces for almost 2 years. I had class 2 deep bite. My teeth have been stubborn but my bite is almost where it should be.
Ortho had me change to only using class 2 elastics at night recently. I have noticed that by the end of the day, after not wearing elastics, my lower jaw has slid significantly back. The main reason I got braces was to fix my bite but it seems like that is just not going to happen. Ortho has been talking about getting me out of braces and seems to be pushing me to just give up.
Has anyone had their bite not cooperate? Is it possible my ortho is doing something wrong? Of course I will speak with my ortho about all this when I see him next but I would like opinions of others who have been "in the trenches"! Thanks
