One side of my cheek looks slimmer than the other and my bite feels off too. I've heard about jaw surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary for me. Are there any other less expensive options to fix this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there are alternative options to jaw surgery for correcting facial asymmetry and jaw alignment issues, especially for mild to moderate cases. These include non-surgical approaches like braces, Invisalign, or dental appliances to address malocclusion and potentially improve facial symmetry. For more cosmetic concerns, fillers, facial exercises, or even Botox injections can help balance facial features. In some cases, surgery might be necessary, but it's not always the first or only solution.

View allI'm 25 and have buck teeth in my upper front two teeth is there any way to fix them without braces or veneers can surgery help with this
Yes, there are several ways to fix "buck teeth" (overjet) without braces or veneers, though surgery may be necessary in some cases. Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental bonding can help camouflage the issue. Alternatively, invisible aligners or clear aligners can be used to gradually shift the teeth into a more desirable position. A dentist or orthodontist can assess your specific case and recommend the most suitable treatment option

I'm 23 years old and I'm wondering if it's still possible for me to get braces for my teeth. If I can, how long would I need to wear them? Also, I'm curious about how much it might cost in Bangalore.
Yes you get braces no problem, usually it takes 1 year to correct your teeth alignment, visit your dentist for appropriate management

Can a quad helix expander actually change my facial structure at 23 and is it possible to get it done without surgery does it really work
Quad helix may slightly influence jaw position in young adults, but significant facial change is unlikely without surgery.
