A Protruding Jaw May Affect More Than Just Your Appearance, According To This Experienced Oral Surgeon
Our jaw plays an important role both aesthetically and functionally. Misaligned jaws (when a person’s upper and lower teeth do not perfectly meet) is a real condition, and they are usually due to genetics.
When your teeth don't fit together properly, you can develop problems not only in your teeth themselves, but also in the gums, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) or the muscles that move your jaw.
DxD invited Dr Ho Kok Sen, an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon to answer readers' questions through a DxD Session on how jaw surgery can help to solve these issues.

Can Police Catch You Go IMH? This S'porean Psychiatrist Shares His First-Hand Insights
Involuntary hospitalisation is something that's rarely talked about in Singapore.
A DxD reader sent in a question to find out if he could be detained at IMH by force if they feel that his condition has worsened. 5 years ago, he sought treatment at IMH for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). However, he discontinued the treatment because he felt that the medication was not helping him.
Dr Ng Beng Yeong, a renowned psychiarist in Singapore shared his expert advice with our reader on this issue.
Hint: Yes, in certain cases, you can be forcibly hospitalised under Section 10 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act (MHCTA).
