Has anyone else had corrective jaw surgery for an overbite?
With the jaw surgery : 1. You will notice the improvement right away once you wake up. 2. Then the face will swell up and it won’t be as obvious again until the swelling goes down 3. It will be very painful 4. The doctor will prescribe strong pain medication and antibiotics (if needed) to reduce the risks of infection and pain and swelling. 5. You will have to apply a lot of ice to expedite the healing. 6. You may feel prolonged episode of numbness in the areas affected. 7. The recovery will be a long process. 8. The surgery itself may not eliminate the need for braces altogether.
