Is orthognathic surgery right for my jaw misalignment?

Question

Hi doctor,

My teeth do not align and my lips do not close naturally. My chin bone is too short. So I consulted with a maxillofacial surgeon, who suggested jawline correction surgery to fix my issues as these issues can not be fixed with braces alone. Should I do it or are there any other alternatives?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

According to your query, all I can understand is that you certainly need orthognathic surgery rather than orthodontic treatment. Though these procedures seem to be cumbersome, they can give you a permanent solution to your problems. But it would help if you get a proper physical examination with NCCT (non-contrast computerized tomography) with 3-D reconstruction to conclude. Kindly consult a maxillofacial or plastic surgeon for the same.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
