Will The Braces Or Jaw Surgery Be The Best Way To Correct Teeth?

Hi I need help. I'm having braces soon because I want my underbite to be fixed. Should I get braces or a jaw surgery will be the best way to correct? (Only four lower teeth is forward to the front teeth and the others are okay I guess) please help me. It would mean a lot.

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain as you have lower front teeth forward to upper front teeth,it is very clear that you have a case of "ANTERIOR CROSSBITE" and it can be very well treated with braces although the treatment can be planned only after knowing the following:
1.Age of patient.
2.Adequate space in the arch to reposition the tooth
3.Sufficient overbite to hold the tooth in position following correction.
4.Position of the tooth in crossbite that is the same as it would be in normal occlusion.
5.Type of Occlusion.

If all of the above factors seems satisfactory by the Orthodontist he can very well correct the misalignment of teeth by using braces and surgical treatment is considered as a last option..
You should however consult a trained specialist known as ORTHODONTIST and get yourself evaluated so that he can do all the necessary evaluations and do the fixed orthodontic treatment accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards..
