Should I Correct my Bite Before a Jowl Lift?

lorjon
My dentist says I need neuromuscular work done on my teeth and orthodontic work for at least 3 months to correct my bite. I suffer from absolutely no symptoms. I'm 55 and I never even knew I had such a problem.I'm also told I have to correct it before I have a jowl lift or Lower Face lift. What should I do? And if I do go for the correction, must it be done prior to the jowl lift?
