I have a squint bite invisalign or other brace treatment fix this?

Q. I have a squint bite that means my chin goes off to one side when I close my teeth. This is also starting to cause me pain as when my jaws are shut some teeth push against each other further displacing each other. I have attended the dental hospital in Glasgow but I was told that I would need an operation to break my jaw then reset then possibly take bone from somewhere else to put into my jaw. As you can imagine this was all very scary stuff however it is a teaching hospital so I think they maybe looking at the most extreme course of action. Surely braces or invisalign treatment would be possible. I do not have much money so going private is probably not possible. Can you tell me what I could be covered for by the NHS and also where else I could seek treatment other than the dental hospital? Thanks,
A. The best advice you can get would probably be at the dental hospitals as they have jaw specialists on board. You could ask for a second opinion and explain that you are not keen on such invasive treatments and if there are any other alternatives you could try first Dr K Solanki
