hello everyone...I hope I am posting in the right spot. this is my first post on this site.
I am 23 years old and starting my Invisalign treatment tomorrow. I have two options - 1) just aligning my teeth with Invisalign or 2) aligning my teeth with Invisalign followed by some months in braces and a BSSO surgery during that time period. I have an overbite that sometimes causes me to clench and gives me a "tired" jaw. I am very interested in the results of the surgery...but scared out of my mind to have it!
my oral surgeon said I would be a very easy case and heal very well because of my age...he said if he were me, he would have the surgery.
in my orthondontist's notes he says:
TMJ WNL
TMD signs (-)
class II (weak) right first molar
(I also had braces when I was younger and the orthodontist at the time tired to camouflage my bite)
I would like some input on what you would recommend for me based on my pictures and if you can give me any insight on the surgery. do you think my bite is bad enough for surgery based on the photos? (I forgot to ask how many mm it is). is this surgery worth it in the long run?
