Read this fucking ortho interaction

[Rylie]

Today had an “airway” based orthodontist visit, I have an underbite.

I have a narrow airway and mild obstructive sleep apnea, I can’t even run without jutting to breath..

The issue is I’m not giga recessed, and the bite issue can be camouflaged without fixing the airway.

I go to this ortho and explain what’s going on,

She hears my airway and bite issues, and says

“The solution is rubber bands and braces, we can fix this”

Me “My teeth are straight, how is that possible”

Ortho “We will tilt the teeth a little forward!”

Me “I’m not sure that’s a reasonable treatment for me, I need to speak to an airway surgeon to see how severe this is, I definitely think it’s treatable, but I need to see how severe the airway is along with my bite”

Ortho “I guess you could get a second opinion, but I think we have a solution!”

I explain I will not accept camouflage orthadontist and want to fix the root issue, or see an airway based surgeon before any decision.

She looks at me and says “The rubber bands will move the upper jaw forward ”

I stand there completely fucking shocked

I flat out just say “How is that possible, so you are saying this will move the entire jaw bone forward”

Ortho “Yes, we will move the jaw forward, and the lower jaw will move a little back!”

Me “That’s not possible”

Ortho “You have been using too much google!”

Long story short after bullshit back and forth and just saying “No that isn’t true” I am seeing an airway based surgeon in a week, I really couldn’t believe what she was saying, especially that rubber bands move the entire jaw.

Today had an “airway” based orthodontist visit, I developed an underbite from a growth spurt.

I have a narrow airway and mild obstructive sleep apnea, I can’t even run without jutting to breath..

The issue is I’m not giga recessed and my bite is near ok, so it’s been difficult.

I go to this ortho and explain what’s going on,

She hears my airway and bite issues, and says

“The solution is rubber bands and braces, we can fix this”

Me “My teeth are straight, how is that possible”

Ortho “We will tilt the teeth a little forward!”

Long story short I am seeing an airway based surgeon in a week, I really couldn’t believe what she was saying because my guardian was present, fucking unreal man.

okay

Yh I went to my ortho recently.

My retainer makes it so my tongue can’t rest on my palate bc it brings the teeth in narrower than my dental arch is.

If I don’t wear my retainer for a week, I get a wider smile and I can mew properly. I explained the problem to him, and he just said “muh wear it on weekdays and take a break on weekends”. I now wear it once every week and a half or so, so my teeth don’t get crooked

Like brotha that won’t fix the issue and that’s not gonna do jack shit but I just said ok and accepted he doesn’t have anything better to offer

You have to stand up for yourself, orthos will recess your jaw and pick your pockets. Just say flat out
“I’m not doing this, help me without camouflage or I’m gone”

If I just listened to this ortho without being aware of the situation, I would be in braces 2 weeks from now having my lower jaw recessed.

It’s a terrifying reality.

I was in ortho for 4 years and they did a botched job where my teeth were still flared out when they took them off. They then blamed for never wearing my bands when I told them I did. I fucking hate the ortho they’re so quick to put you into whatever their bullshit is so they can make money. My teeth shifted so quickly I have to use retainers for many hours of the day to keep them as normal as I can.

U can only fix underbite correctly with surgery

Yep, unless the try to retract and ruin the airway and face even more.

 

[tyler1234]

I had my underbite camouflaged with braces and had an extremely narrow palate pretty much ruined my life

It can be reversed, you should speak to an airway orthodontist and tell them the concerns.

I had no idea that I had Obstructive sleep apnea until the test, now I am going into the right steps to get what I need.
