Video: Orthognathic Surgery Testimonial
Orthognathic Treatment Alternative
Question:
Overbite Surgery without Braces: My lower jaw is set further back than my top jaw resulting in a gummy smile, difficulty closing my mouth and keeping it closed, aching in my jaw etc.
I am hoping to have corrective surgery but I don't like the thought of having to wear braces, making my mouth look even uglier than it is already.
I want to know if I have my crooked front teeth removed, top and bottom, and replaced with a bridge of new perfect teeth can I still have corrective jaw surgery and not the braces? ... Visitor from United Kingdom
Answer:
To allow the surgery to be successful, the top and bottom teeth must be leveled via orthodontics.
The answer to your question is no.
