Asked By:Calm127953 in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

I had jaw surgery initially with a normal bite but wanted to fix asymmetry. I ended up getting botched and it messed my bite, 7 months later I had revision with a different surgeon. He didn't completely correct my bite I still have a bit of a gap open bite, and I don't like he brought my upper jaw more forward. Is a 3rd revision possible? I don't have the will to go under anytime soon ill try orthodontics first but in future is 3rd revision safe and possible?
