Question:
Adult Orthodontics - Misplace Midline My midline is completely misplaced giving me the appearance of a very crooked smile.
I believe this heppened slowly since I had my wisdom teeth removed about 5 years ago (I am now 26).
My question is, do I have to get braces or aligners to fix this problem, or is there some other kind of orthodontic appliance I can use. What about surgery? ....Visitor from GA
Answer:
I can assure you that removing wisdom teeth did not shift your midline.
Yes, you will need orthodontic treatment with braces to fix this problem. I would recommend traditional braces rather than invisible aligners, because certain movements are difficult to accomplish without braces.
I do not have your records, but your problem may require orthodontic treatment in combination with jaw surgery. I would recommend seeing an orthodontist in your area for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.
