Jaw Surgery?

i use to grind my jaw a lot when i was younger.. as u know it my ortho recommended me to get a jaw surgery to make it even and i would be able to close my mouth with my teeth align correctly.. at this moment i do have braces on and currently i told my doc i just wanted the braces on without the surgery bcus i guess i was afraid before haha.. so at this moment if i close my bottom jaw it doesnt close all the way bcus of my teeth.. my underbite and over bite both meet each other.. if u guys dont get what i mean, what im trying to say is my teeth on the bottom jaw isnt under inside my top jaw like a normal persons mouth would be with straight teeth.. my bottom teeth is stopping my top teeth from closing.


im jw, would my teeth still be straight since my ortho said i can still do it without surgery? is this a painful surgery? would it leave scars on my face? how does jaw surgery work? where are they cutting you open to fix your jaw?!
