Hello I am a 19 year old male. I have been suffering from pain around the jaw area since I was 13 and I have an overbite. I visited a doctor when the pain first started but he told me it was just stress and I just need to massage the area. Yea.... stupid doctor.... I have already talked to my parents and I am getting a surgery. I was wondering if anyone could answer a few of my questions.

1. I had braces for three years in the past during high school years. I really dont want to have another time with braces. Are they necessary? Recommended?

2. What is the average cost of a overbite surgery? including the braces and all?

3. How long does the operation take?

4. How long does recovering period last?

5. If I am supposed to get braces before or/and after the operation, how long does it take to take them off?

6. Are there side effects?

7. Do I need to remove some of my teeth? (It is totally fine if I do because I didn't get to remove any when I had braces)

8. Do they pull your jaw to the point you want or they do they just do it bythemselves?

9. Can I expect my face to look better?

10. My chin is quite short lengthwise. Does this surgery cover that and lengthen it? If not, is there a way to do that?

11. What is a 'jaw implant'? Is it different from this surgery? If it is, could you explain a bit?

Thank you.
