doubledoubles Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Saw a new dentist. She told me you can move your jaw slightly with braces / ortho treatment. Is this true? Note, I'm a grown man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnylol Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Very slight movement and alignment of your jaw. Im a guy and used to wear braces. To me the difference isnt alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 No. Only a tiny bit, and that's only if you have alignment probs and not only overcrowding. You need to go to a maxofacial surgeon they know alot more about the movement of the jaw. I had a full underbite and braces didn't do much, infact my face was longer afterwards! And my teeth moved back years later because the jaw was not aligned like it should have been! Please see a surgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Also, if you are grown your bones have definitely fused. You can change the shape while it's still growing but not as an adult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
