Hi
I have been to see an orthodontist about correcting my overbite and narrow jaw. The orthodontist recomended surgery but said an improvement could be made with just braces. I wasn't completely happy with this (but havn't ruled out either option yet) so I have been having a look around for a 2nd opinion and noticed another orthodontist offers Epigenetic Orthodontics in the form of a daytime nightime (DNA) appliance that is meant to be able to expand the jaw somewhat even in an adult.
I don't think there are any orthodontist on this board but I would love to know what the opinions are in dental journals that you may read. My orthodontist said that while damon braces could help widen my smile somewhat the optimal result would come from sugery because the jaw can't widen in an adult. So how does the DNA thingy do this...it it a load of tosh?
Even if it worked a little, that in combination with the damon could be better than the damon alone...what do you think?
Thanks so much for a reply
