I have a gap in my upper front teeth and went to see an orthodontist. They said braces alone might not fully fix it and suggested maxillofacial surgery could be an option. I really want a nice smile what would you recommend for my situation?

Maxillofacial surgery is an option for a gap in your front teeth if braces alone won’t fully address it. It depends on your specific jaw alignment. Consult with an orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon to see if surgery is necessary.

My lower jaw sticks out and I'm worried about it is this something that needs major surgery or can it be fixed with a minor procedure? What are my treatment options?

A protruding lower jaw, or prognathism, can be corrected through various treatments, ranging from minor procedures to major surgery, depending on the severity of the issue. Orthodontics like braces or appliances can address mild to moderate cases. More severe cases, where the jawbone itself is misaligned, typically require orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, which involves repositioning the jawbones.
