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
