My brother in the US got an xray showing his wisdom teeth are growing abnormally - 3 teeth with 2 in weird positions. The doctors there recommended removal surgery. He's coming to Mumbai in September for treatment. Is surgery the only option here? Who would be the best specialist to consult for this in Mumbai?

Wisdom teeth surgery is typically the best option for abnormal growth or positioning, especially if they cause pain or potential dental complications. In Mumbai, top oral surgeons or maxillofacial specialists can assess your brother’s case. Look for experts at dental hospitals like Dr. Kothari’s Dental Clinic or Smile Essentials.

I recently had surgery to remove a cyst near my front tooth in the upper jawline, and the bone in that area has melted. How long does it usually take for the bone to regenerate after something like this? Also, what are the chances of the cyst coming back and is there anything I can do to prevent it from recurring?
Bone healing usually takes 3–6 months; recurrence risk is low if properly cleaned—regular dental follow-up helps.

My upper jaw sits behind my lower jaw and it's causing me some trouble. How complicated is the surgery to fix this and how long does recovery usually take? Also what's the typical cost for something like this?
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, can be a complex procedure, especially when addressing issues like an upper jaw sitting behind the lower jaw. The recovery period can range from several weeks to a few months, and the cost can vary significantly based on factors like the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon's fees
