Would orthodontic surgery be able to fix my severe overbite?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Q.
As a result of childhood thumbsucking, i have a severe overbite problem with my front teeth. Unfortunately, due to being so unhappy with my appearance i foolishly decided to neglect my teeth in the hope that the problem would go away to the extent they are now in a poor condition. I have belatedly realised i would like to address my dental problems. I appreciate that without an examination of my mouth you cannot provide me with a substantive answer but i would very much like to know if orthodontic treatment and surgery would be possible. Thank you for any assistance,

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
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.,
A.
I recommend surgery if you hav… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
