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 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.
