Question 1

I have an underbite and really don't want to go through surgery. I'm based in Mumbai and looking for a good clinic that offers underbite braces. Can you suggest some options and give an idea of the cost? Also, if you've had any experience with this treatment, how effective is it for correcting underbites without surgery?

Accepted Answer

depends on cost and hospital.

Question 2

I have buck teeth or protruding upper teeth that make it hard to close my lips naturally, leading to mouth breathing, snoring, and bad breath. I don't want braces because they take too long and are painful. I've heard about smile treatment and jaw surgery can you give me an idea of the average cost for these options? I know prices vary by city and doctor, but a rough estimate would help me decide if I can afford it. I can only see doctors in Visakhapatnam or Hyderabad. Not self-treating, just trying to understand my options better. Attached a pic for reference though the clarity isn't great.

Accepted Answer

For correcting protruding teeth (also known as "buck teeth" or overbite), both "smile treatment" and jaw surgery are possible options, but they are not the same thing. Smile treatment typically refers to cosmetic dentistry, like veneers or orthodontics (braces), while jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) is a more invasive procedure to reshape the jaw itself. The cost for each will vary greatly based on the complexity of the case and the clinic. Braces, even clear aligners, are generally less expensive than jaw surgery.
