Hello, I have crooked tooth and an underbite which I feel has an effect overall on my jawline shape and face appearance. So would it be more advisable to get braces and fix my teeth before doing a rhinoplasty since the doctor would not be able to decide on the appropriate nose shape reduction required as my jaw is misplaced? Or it’s not important? Thanks in advance

Hi, it's been a very short time since your surgery. I need to examine you to find the cause of the problems. I suggest you, continue to use nasal spray. If your breathing problems persist, you should consult your surgeon.
