Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I am truly at a crossroads right now. I have slight muscle pain in my jaw everyday and I have an openbite/crossbite. I have been to several orthodontist and have therefore gotten several different opinions. Most of the doctors, however, think that to get optimal results I should go with the braces/surgery combination. There are about 2 orthodontist, however, that feel they could solve the problem with braces alone (this braces-alone-option is considered a compromise by most of the other orthodontists I've been to). Ultimately, my question is whether or not everyone out there thinks surgery is worth it with all the recover time, weight loss, nerve problems, numbness problems, and other risks that can offset the benefits of the surgery. I do know one thing however, I have to get my bite problem resolved one way or another. Thanks for your help. -nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
