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?

View allMy 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.
