Child Has Jaw Abnormality. Difficulty Learning To Read. History Of Bike Accident. Surgery Necessary?

If there true discrepancy in growth of jaw bone then Your primary orthopaedician is correct in this respect. It is possibly due to injury to growth plate.
It needs to be evaluate in details. Maxillo-facial surgeons are experts in this conditions. I think you must check again for availability of them kn Canada and insurance related issues. If it is not possible then at have a advise from doctor in florida . Management can be decided on expert opinion.
Whether he will have problems in future life or not are only speculation which are quite disturbing. It is only depends on investigation and expert opinion. There is no harm in taking second opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further concern, please let me know.

He will have asymmetry of face in future if diagnosis is correct. Facial bones will stop growing around 20 to 24 yr of age. Then there will be no increase in symptoms.
Hope this will solve your problem.
