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

View allI'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.
Yes you get braces no problem, usually it takes 1 year to correct your teeth alignment, visit your dentist for appropriate management

My lower jaw sticks out and it's really bothering me. Are there any ways to fix this without getting surgery? I'm worried about how it looks and feels
prognathism may be corrected with orthodontics alone, but this isn't the norm. Braces can move teeth, but they can't move your facial bones. So, if skeletal abnormalities are moderate or severe, then you'll likely need surgery as part of your treatment
