Q. Hello, I have a 2mm underbite and have consulted with an orthodontist about getting braces and then a surgery to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw backward. She agreed there is a need for surgery. However, I have just found out that I will be moving to USA for university but obviously as a UK resident. I am aware that I would have to pay for my braces there but as I am still a British citizen would I be able to have my surgery done over here if my orthodontist abroad and my surgeon here consult each other regularly about my progress?,
