What is the dental work that requires four post implanted and then the false teeth snap on the post?
I guess the post is implanted into the bone and the teeth are snapped onto the post…Is this a good way and cost effective way of my problem? Here is my problem, I have a cross bite with an under bite. I have 2 teeth that is over my bottom teeth and the rest is back behind the bottom teeth and I have TMJ… Please help all the dentist are different and says, braces, cut the jaw down, veneers, no veneers, I’m just so confused. Oh this one dentist said he would fix my mouth for $45,000 and said that his treatment would stop me from snoring, I told him that he was crazy and that is why you have a beautiful office and drive an expensive car.
If I understand your description, you may have a skeletal class III malocclusion — if that is the case, that is difficult to fix, which might explain why you are getting a lot of answers. Part of the problem with that kind of bite is that your skeleton limits how far teeth can be moved. E.g., you could move the lower teeth back, but at a certain point, they might become moved clear out of the jaw bone…and your chin would still be sticking way out. That is why surgery might have been recommended — sometimes the only way to move teeth that great a distance is to move the whole jawbone or possibly also the top (maxilla) out. I doubt veneers would help much at all if it is extreme as it sounds. Generally, my recommendation is to visit an orthodontist and get their recommendations. Their recommendations will usually include the orthodontics and they may have additional recommendations regarding surgery, sometimes required, sometimes not.
If you go with only orthodontics, make sure you know what the limitations are (e.g. your chin may still protrude or you may not have much overbite, etc).
Cost of ortho might be around $5k. Cost of surgery would be add’l $10-20K.
Cost of taking all the teeth out, doing 4 implants, and a fixed partial “bridge” on just the lower arch would likely be around $18K. Not a good option at all. And your skeletal relationships would not change.
Bottom line, it would be best to see an orthodontist if you really want to get your teeth into alignment. Take care.
