Author Description

For many years, dental bite problems like underbites, overbites, and crossbites were very hard to fix in adults. Often, expensive and risky jaw surgeries were the only option. Maxillofacial TMJ jaw surgery often requires braces before and after the surgery to align the bite. Treatment and jaw surgery to correct the bite could take years and be quite painful. Fortunately, the field of dentistry is always advancing, and a non-surgical jaw correction option called Orthodontics now exists. This book is written for the lay reader and explains the root causes of many ordinary health problems. In fact, the author provides clear descriptions and illustrations of the functions of facial and neck muscles and nerves, all in a way that makes perfect sense to reader.
