    Dissatisfaction with treatment of under-bite by braces.

    HI
    I'am 24 yrs old. 2 Years ago my orthodontist suggested two methods to treat my underbite.At that time my upper and lower bites touch together.First method was using braces +jaw surgery.Second was just Braces + take off two teeth from lower jaw.Unfortunately I chose second method now after 2 years teeth positions are good but my appearance is not so good .And now I want to have a surgery but oral surgeon say it's not possible.
    What can I do??

    Have you consulted with a few surgeons to hear what they all have to say?

    Hopefully they can come up with a solution that makes you happy.
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!

    One one said it's not possible but other said "your orthodontist must change your lower teeth position to 90 degree position" but my orthodontist said" it's impossible because we have extracted your teeth "
    I'm going to visit the second surgeon on Monday and I hope he can find a good solution for me .

    Why did the first one say it's not possible? I'm confused. Anyway let us know what the surgeon says on Monday.

    Second Surgeon asked the view of another orthodontist to change the lower teeth position and he said it's possible but you need to implant two tooth in your lower jaw .
    But now I can't make decision .Do I choose just chin surgery or jaw+new procedures ?
    7000$+2000$+2000$=11000$ It costs for me.
