Consultation: A consultation with a local oral surgeon/orthodontist team can give you the very best insight on what can be done, both orthodontically and surgically, for your specific situation. Time frame, costs, and expectations will all be discussed. All the best....

Lots: See an Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (usually free). In a growing child/tween/teen jaw growth can be guided. In a non-growing adult, the services of an Oral Surgeon can be called upon to reposition the jaw(s). In either case, the Orthodontist is the best dental specialist to see to straighten crooked teeth. Seek an evaluation with an Orthodontist, you'll be glad you did.
