My Lower Jaw is Protruded

[Tom1970]

I was wondering if you could give me some advise. My bottom teeth are very forward and this has been upsetting me since I was a child . At school I used to be bullied sometimes because of the appearance of my jaw. I am still very conscious of the appearance of my jaws. Can Invisalign be used to treat my problem.

Hello Tom

Invisalign clear braces are an orthodontic appliance designed to move teeth and can be used to treat most cases with either crowded or spaced teeth. Your jaw position will not be altered with invisalign and to correct a protruded lower jaw it is necessary to see a maxillofacial surgeon and have jaw surgery. Normally before or after jaw surgery it is necessary to align the teeth and this can be done with invisalign. The best thing to do is come in and see one of our experienced invisalign dentists for a free consultation.
