My son had cleft surgery 9 years ago but now his upper and lower jaws don't seem aligned properly His lower lip is protruding and looks thicker What should be done next and is there a recommended age for further treatment
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Post-cleft jaw misalignment often needs orthodontics or orthognathic surgery; ideal age is after growth completion, usually mid to late teens.

I had a mucocele removed by minor surgery 4 months ago but now there's a red spot left. It doesn't hurt but I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should see a specialist. Which type of doctor is best for checking this? Could it be dangerous if left untreated?
Post-mucocele red spot may be normal scar tissue; if persistent, show to oral surgeon or ENT—low risk, but evaluation helps rule out recurrence.

I'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?
The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000 or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.
