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 been thinking about cosmetic jaw surgery to improve my smile and fix my jaw alignment, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. What are the pros and cons of getting this done? Also, how much does it usually cost in India? I'm a bit worried about recovery and potential risks but really want a better-looking jawline.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

My left TMJ isn't working properly when I touch the right side, I feel that circular bone movement, but on the left side, I can't feel it. It's causing some discomfort like dry eye, weird breathing on the left side, and my left facial area looks slightly different than the right. No pain or limited mouth opening, but I'm worried it might get worse. I'm already doing orthodontics for misaligned teeth, but what should I do about the TMJ? Could this lead to surgery later?

ent opinion is advised.
