Sally had oral cancer removed
just after our second son was born 2 years ago. 
She lost 2 inches of her lower jaw, and 7 teeth, in the surgery.  As a result, she did not have a bite for over
a year.  This caused the upper teeth to
move until her bite was restored.  For the next year she is doing
orthodontics.  Then she will be ready to
replace the lower teeth with dentures.
