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.

View allI 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.

One side of my cheek looks slimmer than the other and my bite feels off too. I've heard about jaw surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary for me. Are there any other less expensive options to fix this?
Yes, there are alternative options to jaw surgery for correcting facial asymmetry and jaw alignment issues, especially for mild to moderate cases. These include non-surgical approaches like braces, Invisalign, or dental appliances to address malocclusion and potentially improve facial symmetry. For more cosmetic concerns, fillers, facial exercises, or even Botox injections can help balance facial features. In some cases, surgery might be necessary, but it's not always the first or only solution.
