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?

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.

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.

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
