Does any one know if orthodontists could possibly expand one side more than the other?
My maxilla is tilted and more exanded on the right side for quite a few years atp (because im missing one of the little teeth between the incisor and those two middle ones on the upper row) and it never got treated but now as it is very much affecting me can orthos do this or atleast offer a insurance covered surgery to move the maxilla back to the centre? (atleast 10-15mm shifted to the right atp)
It also has affected my posture to always having to lean to the right (spinal, shoulders, head tilt, etc.)
Other than this huge error ive developed quite well with very good facial ratios but ltn eye area (possibly from the reccession) but my right zygos are visibly 1cm wider than the left side.
I havent been able to consult any ortho as my mother just doesnt care atp, im based in brisbane/gc australia if anyone has good recommendations for orthos
