Q.
I had tobgue cancer about 6 years ago and it has resulted in losing my tongue and 1/2 of my bottom teeth removed. My bottom jaw bone was cut during surgery and then screwed back together. The screws came out a year later, through my face. Presently, my jaw has shifted as well as all my remaining teeth. I look very odd. I have thought about implants but I was told my bone can’t hold them due to radiation. Is there anything you can do or even know of anything that can be done to improve my “looks”. I realize how lucky I am to be here 5 years after this diagnosis, but I would like to look a little bit more normal than I do right now. I have alot of support from family and friends but would like to do this for myself. Thank you for your imput.
