At the dental scho you can always get the faculty to handle your case. Faculty members usually have years of experience and are up to date on the newest things out. It will cost more to see them.

Re: braces to treat open bite
I am getting my braces to fix an open bite also because of years of thumb sticking. She mentioned surgery because she thought some of it might be Boone structure. She also said braces will fix the bite. My teeth slant upward on the right side is going to be the issue that is going to be hard to ache...

Re: Estimated time for braces
My orthodontist estimated 12 to 18 months. If I get this periodontal surgery which is a fiberotomy we can definitely do 12 months.
