Suggest Treatment For A Broad Nasal Bridge
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 S farhana...
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
