Hello, It depends. Are the teeth or the bone? Did you have resection post trauma or cancer? You will need a consultation and I could provide you with a firm answer after that visit. Madalina Elena Iorgulescu D.M.D. M.D.S F.A.C.P 137 Summit Ave Summit, NJ 07901 (908) 273-0884 www.my-best-dentist.com
Many factors go into a misalignment. To be sure, after an examination I can discuss options to "fix" a misalignment. Dr. Portale
Depending on the exact condition, it may be treated with a combination of orthodontics and oral surgery.
If the misalignment is caused by the teeth being crowded or rotated, etc… then orthodontic therapy with Invisalign is a straightforward treatment. If the misalignment is due to a skeleton relationship (the lower jaw bigger then the upper jaw) then a surgical correction followed by orthodontic therapy is indicated.
