My upper teeth don't show when I talk or smile, and I also have an underbite. Would I need upper jaw surgery to make my teeth visible? How complicated is that procedure and what's the cost? Are there any non-surgical options to fix this?

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?
