My dentist said i need to have my jaw broken and taken back can you advice me on the procedure

Q. As a teenager I was given the option of having braces but obviously as a teenager I refused to have a brace at that age!! At 33 I now wish I had. My bite is so far apart it now gets me down when I see my smile on pictures etc. I saw a dentist last year who told me the only way I could now rectify this would be to have my jaw broken and taken back. I am keen to hear of this procedure and any other procedures which may help. Although I am desperate to do something I am also concerned on what the cost would be as my teeth also need quite a lot of work due to staining etc. If there was one thing I could change about myself it would be my smile. Can you please advise me on any procedures, clinics and costs? I live in the Northwest of England. Thank you.

A. You will probably need to see a oral maxillo facial surgeon so ask your dentist to refer you for a second opinion. Unfortunatley this sort of cosmetic surgery and orthodontics doesn’t come cheap but I’m sure it will be worth it if it improves your self confidence
