(well, after we had a small fight right after I got the braces on, because she was also going to level my front teeth by their tips, giving me an old man's smile. But she came around and changed some brackets to give me MY smile back. Do you have pictures of both smiles? I have had the same thing d...

Oh you are awesome. Thanks for researching this!

Is there a link to the Chinese forum that discusses this?

Any updates?

Does anyone know anyone in Melbourne, Australia who does FAGGA?

is it like a double chin?

how much was your jaw moved forward and chin moved back?

I've had the same thing happen to me - even though I am supposed to be having surgery.

My front teeth are pushed back, and I hate my smile now!

What are you doing for it? Let me know if you found out about Invisalign.

I'm really sorry to hear that, having suffered so much at hands of mine, and I hope things turn out for the best... They mean well, I'm sure (or I want to believe so), but they are misguided by perfection and lead you down paths that you don't want or truly need, just to get perfect teeth out of yo...

Oh trust me, my ortho has done questionable/unnecessary things (such as intrusion) to those same teeth that have root resorption. I have had a second opinion, and they basically said no more movement should be done to those teeth. Which seriously sucks because those teeth are not in the right positi...

Oh gosh, me too. I can't trust her at all.

I have root resorption now too

^ The relapse happens at the site of the condyles. It's not about the fixation. As the bone erodes away the ramus becomes shorter. Everything then moves up/back/rotates and you get your old jaw back. Here's a visual to help understand it http://image.slidesharecdn.com/icrarnett-150924014947-lva1-app...

WOW I just found this thread and I have the same thing, but I think it started after wisdom teeth removal? Or maybe from braces as a teen, but became WORSE with wisdom teeth. Kinda scares me because I have braces on for a 2nd time now!! OH god I hope it doesn't get even worse. :cry: :oops: :shock: I...

I have that contraceptive article but don't know how to upload a pdf here. I have made a group on 'condylar resorption' on facebook if anyone is interested, and will post the article on there.

it was for surgery in conjunction with ortho. he was a young(ish) surgeon, who is quite up-to-date (ie willing to do orthognathic surgery with invisalign instead of braces) so i thought he'd be okay with acceledent... i asked "what about acceldent to speed things up?" when discussing timel...

Spoke to another Oral Surgeon today - advised against Acceledent.

[quote="djspeece"][quote="Vive18"]Are there any risks associated with moving the teeth too quickly? I have condylar resorption of my TMJs. I may need to be in braces for 2 years, so would definitely love to cut the treatment time down. However, one Oral Medicine Specialist I saw ...
