I'm 23 years old and I'm wondering if it's still possible for me to get braces for my teeth. If I can, how long would I need to wear them? Also, I'm curious about how much it might cost in Bangalore.

I'm 21 and living in Jaipur, looking to expand my upper palate with MSE or another non-surgical option. Can anyone suggest a skilled orthodontist who specializes in this? I'm a bit unsure about the process and want to find someone reliable.

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?

yes conservative therapy is advised,if fails surgery is advised.

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.
