I'm a 25-year-old guy with an overbite and class 2 malocclusion is jaw surgery the only option for fixing this or are there safer alternatives? I'm a bit worried about the risks of surgery and wondering if braces or other treatments could work instead

While jaw surgery can be an option for correcting severe overbites and Class II malocclusion, it's not always the only solution. Braces and other orthodontic treatments can often be effective for milder cases, and in some situations, a combination of orthodontics and functional appliances (like headgear) might be used

My 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.
