My daughter is 8 years old and has a slight jaw shift to the right. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you fix it? She's currently wearing a MARA appliance until December. One orthodontist says she needs some kind of retainers, followed by braces. But a good orthodontist at the clinic says to do nothing for now and wait until her permanent teeth come in, then get braces in her teenage years. I'd love to hear from experienced moms.

If you're wearing a retainer, take it off and everything will go back to how it was. To keep your teeth in the position you've achieved, you need retainers… even after braces, they use retainers so everything doesn't shift back, and then you have to wear them for life… your teeth will fall out even with retainers… some people even get braces on their baby teeth.

Angelina The device expands the jaw, not the teeth. It doesn't return to its original position; there's a small regression, but it's minimal.

Angelina Wow, thanks for the reply, that's amazing... I'll think about it... Do you have experience with orthodontics or have you had them for your children?

Have you had any X-rays done to check on your jaw joints and other bones? I'd probably look for another specialist to get a third opinion, since the first two are completely different.

Anastasiya We tried to take a picture in Picassos, but my daughter can't stand still for more than a few minutes!
