Q.
I dont really know where to start or what the clinical terms are for my particular problem..I have an extremely deep overbite where my top jaw completely bites over my bottom jaw.. this causes my lower face to look collapsed and my chin is very pronounced ( apparently this is because my lower jaw has had to take the weight from my upper jaw. I was meant to have corrective surgery on my jaw when I was younger but my parents couldn’t afford it, I have always been so embarrassed about my side profile as it makes me look like a witch ….and I now at 24 years old want to have the surgery I should of had as a child. My question is: – What is the cost involved in surgery to reposition my jaw AND then have genioplasty to reduce my pronounced jaw (chin)? …AND would I have to have braces fitted again? ..I did have braces about 7 years ago to close some large gaps as I am missing teeth (I had braces on for 3-4 years) ..I then got 3 bidges on my front lower teeth to fill these gaps.. So my teeth have been relatively sorted out but my jaw and the semitry of my face is ALL wrong. Please could you estimate a price of this type of surgery and recommend a good surgeon? Thanks a bunch.
