Has anyone been steered wrong about actually needing the surgery?

[Guest guest]

I have a recessed chin and class II overbite. I went to an

orthodontist several years ago about fixing my crooked teeth (didn't

know you could fix the chin) and he never said anything about surgery,

he just said the braces MAY fix my overbite slightly, but there is no

guarantee. I went for a second opinion just recently and that

doctor said my overbite was too severe, that I would need surgery or I

would look bucktoothed after the braces. So I'm going for a third

opinion. However, I am curious, has anyone been steered wrong about

being told they needed the surgery but didn't really need it? Has

anyone had their bite corrected just by braces alone?
