Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 An ortho can give you the best idea of that. Just remember that estimates are notorious about being longer or slower than the treatment turns out to be -- although my ortho was right on the money. I had lower only, for an overbit, overjet and crossbite. I was in braces a total of 20 months, had surgery at 16. It will depend, though, for you, on what you need to have done (how much leveling and aligning you need, for one thing) how rapidly or slowly your teeth move, whether you need surgery on one jaw or two, and whether you need more than one procedure, among other considerations. Good luck to you! Cammie > Hi im a 20 year old male that wants 2 have orthognathic surgery done > 2 my lower jaw coz its sticks out and suffer from alot of name > calling.
