Question:
Shifted Jaw: I have a shifted jaw. I don't know exactly when it happened.
I don't have any pain nor any stress in jaw right now. I have visited dentists but they say in our country there is no treatment.
So what is it am I gonna have this shifted thing for whole of my life? Right now my age is 18 and due to this shift my face looks little long.
My front teeth do not come in contact. Even when I smile it looks really weird. Please will you guide me to the way out of this? .... Visitor from Naxal, Nepal
Answer:
This is a very difficult situation for anyone to comment on without an examination, proper x-rays, etc.
As you didn't put the cause down to an injury, I suspect that the condition was present from birth, and has become more apparent as you have grown.
This problem requires you to be seen by a highly trained specialist.
I highly recommend that you take special care of your teeth and gums by thorough brushing and flossing on a daily basis. Any neglect of looking after your teeth will lead to serious complications should the treatment to the above be available any time in the future.
