My lower jaw is slightly extended and the doctor recommended orthognathic surgery but started with braces first. Will I still need surgery if braces correct the issue and why do they use braces before surgery anyway?

ent opinion is advised.

I have an underbite and really don't want to go through surgery. I'm based in Mumbai and looking for a good clinic that offers underbite braces. Can you suggest some options and give an idea of the cost? Also, if you've had any experience with this treatment, how effective is it for correcting underbites without surgery?

depends on cost and hospital.
