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 .

I have an underbite and really don't want to go through surgery. I'm based in Mumbai and looking for a good clinic that offers underbite braces. Can you suggest some options and give an idea of the cost? Also, if you've had any experience with this treatment, how effective is it for correcting underbites without surgery?

depends on cost and hospital.
