What if only one tooth is crooked?
Yes, you would most likely need braces for this. :) Think of braces as a tug of war, you use some teeth on the team to move others. Often when I see a patient that has scheduled an evaluation because of a crooked tooth or crowding, I will reveal bite issues that they didn't even notice. Most orthodontists also offer complimentary braces consults, so no reason not to get this checked out. Best of luck! Dr. Keith Wickizer is a dentist and orthodontist that operates out of dental and orthodontic offices in Summerville, Goose Creek, and Mount Pleasant.

Wiring a broken jaw
Hello, Sorry to hear about your sister. To answer, it really depends on what type of break it was. Most fractures of the jaw due to impact occur along the condyle, or the part of the jaw that pivots; which is actually the weakest point of the mandible. At 6 weeks, the bone is only partially healed. It usually takes 3-6 months for the bone to heal to the point where it is not still fragile. The oral surgeon will most likely prescribe some jaw "exercises" that will aid in healing. You can always ask the surgeon about the exact healing times. It is very important for your sister to follow this regimen, or additional surgeries or braces to realign the teeth may be needed. Hope this helps! READ MORE
