I have asymmetry, the right and left side of my jawline are not the same length or same shape. I don't have an under-bite or overbite but my bite is not perfect. Some of my teeth are crooked and my front two teeth are slightly forward, I can close my mouth but I have some discomfort when I close mouth fully. I consulted with Raffaini and he said he can do surgery-first for me but he recommends me to get braces first for a few months as he said that will ensure my teeth are in the best position and I get a better bite.
I am now interested in getting surgery in Korea, the surgeon there also said he can do surgery-first for me. I also went to see an orthodontist (in the UK, where I live) and he said, he will not offer me braces if I want surgery and was totally against the idea of me getting double jaw surgery. Jaw surgery is not that common in UK unless you have a severe problem and he said my asymmetry is only slight. I paid him for a consultation but basically wasted my money. I'm not sure what to do now, should I go and see another orthodontist in the UK? or should I have surgery first?
I like the idea of surgery first as it saves time but I am worried, will it affect aesthetics and function? Has anyone used this technique? Did you get a good result?
