Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

What’s the difference between and OPENbite and an Overjet?
I’m 19, can orthodontics alone fix either of these problems?
Do these conditions have anything to do with the appearance of a receding chin? How can you tell if you have a receding chin?
thanks!

I had a baby tooth pulled a couple of months ago because it wasn’t growing out. The tooth underneath hasn’t fully grown out yet. Would I still be able to get braces or invisalign this summer?
and if I do, will that tooth grow strangely?
all my other teeth are fine.
Thank you

I’m having the procedure done if my insurance pays for it or isn’t too costly to me. I’ll also be having lower jaw surgery post-orthodontics.

So I already had my consultation, and my next appointment is for molds and x-rays. My question is, will they put spacers in during the molds and x-rays appointment? Or do they schedule a 3rd appointment, put spacers in, and schedule another for braces?

I’ve had braces since January and this is my second tightening. Before a couple advil would take care of it but this time advil isn’t doing the trick! I’ve had constant pain since Tuesday. He’s started trying to close the gap in the front. Help! What else can I take?

So, I have a small/medium size gap in the middle of my two front teeth. All the rest of my teeth are perfectly straight, and I also have a small overbite. How long will it take for Invisalign braces to fix my problems, and how much do you think it will cost?
Also, could someone please tell me he process one has to go through in order to get the braces put in? Thanks.

Is there an observable effect of orthodontics work which is discernable in the jaw and teeth? (other than the teeth being straighter).

I am getting my spacers put in today, and I really do not like pain in my mouth (who does, right?) but I am wondering if I should take some tylenol or advil before I go into the office.
I have to have the spacers in for a week before they put my braces on.
Thanks!

Hi. I’ve had braces for 2 months, but have never gotten them tightened because the orthodontist didn’t want me to get them tightened that soon. Well I noticed that one of my wires in the back is broken or bent. I have no insurance and I’m scared this may cost a lot to repair.

In more extreme cases.
In particular, do they widen the jaws and make your cheekbones more prominent? My Dad’s lower jaw is shaped like Brad Pitt’s are. My brother also shares this trait. He literally has Johnny Depp’s cheekbones. It’s in the genes. Mine are like this – only not as prominent or visible. But the shape is there. It’s only like they’re caved in or restricted from going into the full shape they were meant to be in because of my badly arranged teeth.
I have misaligned teeth, with crowding and the dentist told me my jaws were very narrow and I definitely need braces. My teeth are very badly arranged. No idea why. My parents and siblings all have straight teeth. I’m getting braces soon. What effects they have on the face? And will they make my jawline stronger and cheekbones more prominent? Stupid question maybe but I’d like to know what sort of effects I can expect braces to have on my face. Thank you.
