My lower jaw sticks out and I'm worried about it is this something that needs major surgery or can it be fixed with a minor procedure? What are my treatment options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A protruding lower jaw, or prognathism, can be corrected through various treatments, ranging from minor procedures to major surgery, depending on the severity of the issue. Orthodontics like braces or appliances can address mild to moderate cases. More severe cases, where the jawbone itself is misaligned, typically require orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, which involves repositioning the jawbones.

prognathism may be corrected with orthodontics alone, but this isn't the norm. Braces can move teeth, but they can't move your facial bones. So, if skeletal abnormalities are moderate or severe, then you'll likely need surgery as part of your treatment

My dentist said I have Class III malocclusion after checking my side profile and bite. Can braces alone fix this or will I need surgery? What are the risks of getting this surgery done in India? It's hard to find any personal stories or reviews from people who've had this procedure here.
Dentist opinion is advised .
