However , there is a problem. I have been wearing braces for 2 years and they will be removed in November . Will my jaw and chin or lips change because of the braces in these 3 months and must I wait until I remove the braces to have Facelift surgery and to see the changes that braces did to the shape of my face? Will my new face be damaged while checking the braces at my ortodontist´s and opening the mouth wide?
