Do i have to get my jaw broke w/ braces?!
Question: Do i have to get my jaw broke w/ braces.?
So awhile ago i went to a orthidonist and they told me that they wanted to break my jaw and rewire it to fix my overbit and give me braces. I want the braces but do i have to have my jaw broke to get them because i am not doing that. My overbite is fine with me my profile is not messed up or anything because of it.? ThanksHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
That sounds odd to get your jaw broken just so they can fix your overbite. You should seek a second opinion from an Oral surgeon or If you're happy with your overbite. Why subject yourself to the pain and torment of getting your jaw broken.
I would tell them "No" . This is ultimately your choice
