Q.
Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,
