Braces or surgery - which procedure would be best for addressing overjet and crowding? (photos)

It is possible to correct the underlying issues with Epigenetic Orthopedics which can also be helpful for snoring, airway issues, headaches, migraines or TMJ Disorders.
They are larger appliances that need to be worn for 14-16 hours/day.
A neuromuscular orthotic might first.be the best first approach if there are any pain, headache, migraine or TMD issues

Thank you for your question! Whether braces or jaw surgery is the best option for addressing your concerns depends on the severity of your overjet, the alignment of your jaw, and your overall goals.
• Braces or Clear Aligners: These can be effective for minor to moderate overjet and crowding. They gradually align the teeth and improve your smile without surgery. However, braces alone may not fully address a significant overjet if it’s caused by skeletal jaw misalignment.
• Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): This is typically recommended for more severe overjet cases caused by jaw positioning rather than dental alignment alone. It corrects both the bite and facial profile, providing more dramatic results.
I recommend consulting with both an orthodontist and an oral surgeon for a thorough evaluation. A combination of braces and surgery is often the most effective treatment for cases involving skeletal alignment issues. They’ll help create a customized plan to achieve your desired look and function.
