What first, dimpleplasty or braces? I don't want lopsided dimples

Question

I am planning to get braces in March 2023 and to compliment my new brace-face I will also be getting Dimpleplasty however- I'm not sure in which order to do them in! I know that braces can slightly change the structure of the face and of course I dont want lopsided dimples, seeing that they are usually permanent. Therefore I don't know if I should get the dimples and then after the sutures dissolve have my braces put on OR vice versa. Please Help!!!

I would go with dimples first for several reasons. One is your anatomy will be intact before the braces , two is because it's annoying to work in the mouth with braces and having the suture or the sponges catch on hooks. Wait at least a month or two before getting braces.
