Hi Doctor, I am 24 yrs. I have a broad nasal bridge which is affecting my face. I am planning to undergo an orthodontic treatment for my protruding jaws. I have heard that along with the orthodontic treatment Doctors perform Rhinoplasty for the complete face appeal. If not, what should be the way? I also do open mouth breating as I am not able to breathe due to some block in my nose. regards, S S Farhana
Hi S Mariana...thanks for sharing your problem in this forum.you have problems related to two different specialities.1st is orthodontic problem related to orthodontist... 2nd problem is related to Plastic surgery /ENT (breathing and broad nasal bridge...)you have’t mentioned what type of orthodontic treatment you are undergoing.either braces or some other.but I will explain that you should have the orthodontic treatment 1st.for breathing and nasal bridge problem you should see plastic surgeon/ENT surgeon....they will correct it for you.will need a surgery known as septoplasty / rhinoplasty. .these both problems are treated by single surgery.hope you will be happy to have the answer.feel free to ask again.thanks Chat Doctor.
