Visitor asks:

Hello,
I wear a removable appliance for my lower teeth because they are not completely straight. I would like to know whether such an appliance also corrects an asymmetrical jaw. If I move my lower teeth forward so that they are in the same plane as the upper teeth, you can see that my lower jaw is not level but slopes downward on the left side. If I run my tongue over all the teeth, my tongue is visible on the left side because the teeth do not meet there. On the right side they meet normally. The fact that the jaw is not level can also be seen if I raise my head slightly, which bothers me quite a lot. Thank you for your answer and kind regards :)

Dear Sir/Madam!

Based on what you have written, I believe you have a unilateral open bite. This type of malocclusion is difficult to correct. I do not have enough information to answer your question. Please call us.

Have a nice day!
