Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

Bone healing usually takes 3‚Äì6 months; recurrence risk is low if properly cleaned‚Äîregular dental follow-up helps.

Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I'm 23 and struggling with a class 3 malocclusion underbite. My doctor mentioned jaw surgery as the only treatment option. Is this surgery something I can rely on long-term? Are there any risks or potential issues I might face down the line with it?

My health insurance is refusing to cover the cost of my flap surgery saying it's just normal dental treatment or cosmetic. They cover all surgeries but claim this doesn't qualify. Is flap surgery really considered cosmetic or should it be covered under medical insurance?

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
