Upper&lower front teeth protruding out. Do I need maxilofacial surg or partial denture after pulling teeth?

My front teeth alongwith the bone below it protruding out. I can%26#039;t go for orthodontic, since i%26#039;ve partial bridge already. I want my profile to be aethetically improved. I checked several websites. Now i%26#039;m in a confusion which to go for, whether maxillofacial surgery or simply pulling the 6 front teeth %26amp; 6 lower teeth and put a partial denture or just cutting the gum %26amp; put a denture. Can anyone advise which to go for?

Why have you already lost teeth? With both upper AND lower teeth protruding it sounds not to be a skeletal problem but possibly a periodontal problem. Perhaps your teeth aren%26#039;t salvageable anyway?


You can%26#039;t get meaningful advice from websites. You have to see a dentist for an assessment and discussion. If he thinks it appropriate, then he will suggest an oral surgeon, but I really doubt that option is for you.


Within reason, save whatever teeth you can, because dentures aren%26#039;t suitable or comfortable for everyone, and implants are expensive.
Reply:i don%26#039;t think putting a denture will improve your aesthetics.moreover in your case,,it will create more problems.i think it is good to go for maxillofacial surgery and then you can try dentures
Reply:yes, maybe u need the vertical correction by maxillary and mandibular surgery..


no,, don%26#039;t pull out your anterior teeth, it%26#039;s better to have your natural teeth remain. you better fix your teeth fast, before it%26#039;s worse. yup, because your teeth are protrusif, it%26#039;s hard to keep your mouth close, so your oral cavity will be dry and the risk is tooth decay because of the salivary rate is low.


see a dentist to get more info
Reply:Your primary concern, which is more a %26#039;desire%26#039;, seem to improve the esthetics of your smile than any urgent need for a jaw surgery. You have not mentioned anything about having consulted any maxillofacial surgeon for real options from the angle of existence of a bridge in your oral region. Pulling 12 of your original teeth to fullfil your desire may not be the best of options. Orthognathic surgery may still be a better option in comparison. It would be only in the consult with an oral surgeon that you would know you require surgery in one jaw or both. The cost factor (range $15-25K) is equally important as I doubt insurance will give you any coverage as the surgery involved is of cosmetic nature. However, make more internet searches to find out who is offering affordable and best deal cosmetic orthognathic surgery options.
