I've had braces before to fix my front teeth sticking out, but I'm still not happy with how they look. Would upper jaw surgery be an option for me? I'm a bit worried about whether it's necessary or what the process would be like.

Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if you have a jaw condition that braces alone can't fix. Usually, you also have braces on your teeth before surgery and while you recover after surgery until healing and alignment are complete

View allI'm 15 and my lower jaw is overgrown on one side. It doesn't affect chewing or cause sleep apnea but I'm really self-conscious about how it looks. I'm pretty small for my age at 4'10 and haven't grown in about a year. Since braces aren't an option, should I wait until I'm 18 for corrective surgery or is it okay to do it now?

What exactly happens during guided dental implant surgery I'm getting it done soon and feeling pretty nervous Also what side effects should I expect and any important precautions for the first few days after the procedure
Guided implant surgery uses advanced technology to ensure accurate implant placement, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. It involves a 3D model of your jawbone and implant placement plan, followed by surgery using a guide that helps the dentist insert the implant with precision. Expect some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor pain, but these typically resolve within a few days.
