I'm 23 and struggling with a class 3 malocclusion underbite. My doctor mentioned jaw surgery as the only treatment option. Is this surgery something I can rely on long-term? Are there any risks or potential issues I might face down the line with it?

I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?

Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.

I have a small mucocele under 1 cm on my lower lip that doesn't seem to be going away. Is it something to worry about if I don't want to get surgery for it?

A small mucocele (mucous cyst) on your lower lip, under 1 cm, is usually not a cause for immediate concern if it's not causing any pain, discomfort, or interfering with your ability to eat, talk, or swallow. However, it's best to monitor it and see a dentist if it persists for more than a few weeks or if you notice any changes.

What exactly happens during guided dental implant surgery I'm getting it done soon and feeling pretty nervous Also what side effects should I expect and any important precautions for the first few days after the procedure

Guided implant surgery uses advanced technology to ensure accurate implant placement, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. It involves a 3D model of your jawbone and implant placement plan, followed by surgery using a guide that helps the dentist insert the implant with precision. Expect some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor pain, but these typically resolve within a few days.
