I'm really worried because my canine tooth is really high, and I'm hesitant about getting braces. I'm concerned they might make me look out of place. Are there any other options that wouldn't affect my appearance as much? Also, how long does it usually take to correct a high canine tooth, and is there a quicker method available? Lastly, what can I expect in terms of the treatment cost?

One side of my cheek looks slimmer than the other and my bite feels off too. I've heard about jaw surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary for me. Are there any other less expensive options to fix this?
Yes, there are alternative options to jaw surgery for correcting facial asymmetry and jaw alignment issues, especially for mild to moderate cases. These include non-surgical approaches like braces, Invisalign, or dental appliances to address malocclusion and potentially improve facial symmetry. For more cosmetic concerns, fillers, facial exercises, or even Botox injections can help balance facial features. In some cases, surgery might be necessary, but it's not always the first or only solution.
