My Lower Jaw Is Moving Left After Orthodontic Treatment
it's been 6 months of my orthodontic treatment and my overbite is almost corrected but i have a doubt. i think my kower jaw has moved to a little left which is clearly visible when i open my mouth completely. when i close my mouth, midline between lower central incisors does not coincide with midline between upper central incisors, lower midline is towards left). will it be corrected in later stages of treatment?

Answer: Yes, your teeth will be corrected while in treatment
By
From your question at first, I thought you were completed the orthodontic treatment but as I read the rest of your question, you are still in treatment? It is common to have your teeth shift while wearing braces as this is the way we move teeth. Usually the first thing we do is to align all the teeth in the correct position and then we will correct your bite. In your situation, inorder to correct the bite and align the teeth in the correct position you will probably wear some rubberbands to shift the bite into the correct position. There are all kinds of phases you will go through as this is part of the orthodontic treatment. I would not worry just yet as you still have some phases to go through. I am sure when the time comes for when you have completed the treatment, your teeth are going to look fantastic. Good Luck and keep up the good work! Just let your orthodontist know that you are concerned about the lineup of your teeth, and he/she will explain what the next plan is.
