Braces can fix mild jaw misalignment; severe cases may need orthognathic surgery—consult an orthodontist and oral surgeon.

View allMy lower jaw sticks out and it's really bothering me. Are there any ways to fix this without getting surgery? I'm worried about how it looks and feels
prognathism may be corrected with orthodontics alone, but this isn't the norm. Braces can move teeth, but they can't move your facial bones. So, if skeletal abnormalities are moderate or severe, then you'll likely need surgery as part of your treatment

What's the average cost for teeth alignment options like regular braces, invisible braces, or surgery and which one would give the best results for my situation
The cost for teeth alignment options varies greatly based on the type of braces, the complexity of your case, and the location of the orthodontist. Traditional braces (metal or ceramic) typically cost between ‚Çπ30,000 and ‚Çπ80,000, while invisible aligners (like Invisalign) can range from ‚Çπ69,999 to ‚Çπ3,50,000 . Orthodontic surgery, if needed, can be significantly more expensive. The best option for you will depend on your specific needs and a consultation with an orthodontist

I have a tooth open bite caused by lower jaw elongation and my doctor says it's a class 3 case. They recommended braces, then a splint, and finally surgery but the surgery costs around 1.8 lakh which I can't afford. Is there any other treatment option that could work without surgery? What would be the approximate cost for non-surgical approaches?
yes conservative therapy is advised,if fails surgery is advised.
