Braces without surgery jaw surgery, is there anyway to get just Braces to fix the crowding?

Question

I have crowded bottom teeth. I am wanting to get braces, but i was told I might need to have jaw surgery. I cannot afford jaw surgery. No way. Impossible. Is there anyway I can just get the braces to fix the crowding?

Hi, twaquan,

Thanks for your question! The answer, simply, is ABSOLUTELY! Often to achieve and ideal result, an orthodontist will recommend orthognathic surgery. However, depending on the providers preference, treatment can be performed without surgery and the understanding that you'll achieve something just short of perfect. As long and the patient and doctor are in agreement, without causing harm to the patient, these treatment options are very acceptable.

Best, Dr. Schofield

You need to find a doctor who understands epigenetic orthodontics. If your case can be done without surgery then an epigenetic doctor would know how.Good luck!
