7mm overbite worth the surgery?

[Tumtum9646]

So my surgeon said my lower jaw would be advanced 7mm to fix my overbite. Does a 7mm advancement justify jaw surgery?

its normal advancement.

Only you can make that choice. If it affects your every day function and bothers you than I'd deem it worth it.

0,5to 11mm u can advance ur lower jaw without big risk.  if u need 0,7 and u get 0,8 u get underbite. If u want more advancement tell ur surgeon advance ur both jaws.

Absolutely! Protect your joints, prevent sleep apnea, reduce tooth wear, chew your food better, look better. That's not even a large advancement really. It's a win-win-win.

Wow, so at what mm advancement, molestrip, is it not worth surgery at?
