her orthodontist is one of the rudest and most unapproachable people I have ever come across and does not welcome any questions (although he does seem to be very competent at his work). if that's the case. you should have at least 3 more opinions. I had exactly the same kind of orthodontist you des...

For me, they couldn't decide one or two jaws until the last week before surgery. And then they brought up the idea for genio instead of the lower jaw. And then during the surgery, the surgeon decided that I didn't need the genio either! Give it time, see where your teeth end up and trust that you p...

Did you make any decision? since you told me you are from U.k. you have to pay for each consultation. most of the consultations are free here. I only paid 50 dollars for one. that's regarding the cost. the other consideration.you also have the NHS system. I don't know if you can have another consult...

i orchid,
You mentioned emailing a professor. and asking another ortho.plus your ortho said he will discuss your concern in your next appointment. I am anxiously waiting the results.

What is your country?

At the start of the process 2 orthodontists and a surgeon told me that I needed surgery to correct my issue. Only my back teeth actually touched and because they were...
