I had braces for a serious overbite when I was a child. They did not work so they wanted to do the jaw surgery on me. I fled and never went back.
Now, 40 years later, I am living with the repercussions of that. My lower teeth rubbed against the back of my upper teeth for 40 years, thinning the upper teeth until they started to disintegrate. Then my lower teeth started to cut into the gum behind my teeth and my soft palate. I am now in pain every day and, if not treated, this will destroy the gum tissue and then the roots of my front teeth which I will lose. So I am now going for a consultation with the orthnognathic surgery clinic. So do have the surgery or you may one day find yourself regretting it. Hopefully you can choose a good time e.g. over the summer.
