Q.

Hello there Dr Butt. At 19 I had a brace for three years due to an overbite and was to undergo surgery on my jaw but decided I could not go through with this at the time as I was very scared and didn’t think my face would look better by moving my bottom jaw forward, I am now 29 and in severe discomfort when I eat my jaw always clicks and sometimes even locks at times and can get quite painfull also I am very embarrassed of my smile and have low self esteem because of this, after researching about this could I go for the surgery again and could I get this on the NHS, I have a 9mm gap between my jaw and front teeth and would really like to have surgery to correct this what can you suggest.

Q.

Hey, I first noticed i had a under bite when i was 14 when my dentist told me that my bottom jaw stuck out more than my top jaw and it was called an over bite after that i avoided smiling in photo’s and if i had to get my picture taking i didn’t smile. Anyway, when i was 18 i got braces on i had them on for 3 years, I was asked at the time – did i want to have the surgery to get it fixed permanently?  i stupidly said no thinking later i could get it done because i was pregnant at the time so when i asked could i get it done i was told no i was too old. i am now 26 years old and was wondering if would now have to pay for the surgery?If that’s true could you tell me how much it would be please? Thanks
