murkyhorse's video: 80s Orthodontic Failure - Correction Of Overbite

This montage tells the story of my Orthodontic story between February 2017 and |December 2019. As an 80s Orthodontic failure, I went to see Julian Young at the West Street Orthodontic practise in West Street, Farnham. Julian initially took a conservative approach to my treatment but immediately pointed out that I was a borderline surgery case. Over the following two years I was treated with a fixed appliance and then a further bite plate to help reduce my overbite. Although my upper arch of teeth were well aligned and much straighter than previously, the lower arch of teeth were inward facing and preventing my molars from meeting at the back. After the removal of a previously fitted implant at Elevetham Dental Surgery, I was admitted for surgery at Guildford Nuffiled Hospital under the care of Paul Johnson, a leading oral, maxillofacial & facial plastic surgeon. Mr Johnson removed my lower wisdom teeth and realigned my lower jaw to bring the lower teeth into proper alignment. 12 days later, I was fitted with elastic bands and my teeth were further aligned until a satisfactory position was obtained. Less than 6 months after surgery, the braces were removed and retainers fitted. I could not have expected a better result. I would like to thank Julian Young, Lorna McKay (Practise Manager) and the whole team at West Street Orthodontic Practise. Additionally, I am very grateful to Paul Johnson and his Secretary, Tina Kane. A tough and difficult journey at times but very much worth it.
