If your bite is this messed up, surgery is a small price to pay for a lifetime of proper jaw alignment. It's just like any other broken bone. Hardly any pain, and the swelling is almost completely gone within 10 days. Done it.
@mewmewisabella Some cases require an orthognatic surgery or else their teeth (both jaws) cannot match decently and thus brings difficulty in chewing. This surgery can also be used to fix sleep apnea depending on the patient (it requires the lower jaw to be moved).
@Alejandromichael84 The surgery costs most people $15,000. However, most insurances cover the cost of this surgery, since it is not cosmetic. Don't let the cost of the surgery deter you from having it done. Even if I had to pay 20 grand, I'd still do it. I have BCBS and it covered 100% of the surgery, except for a nominal co-pay of $350. Braces are where the real money is spent, since insurance often does not cover the full cost of braces.
@@gyasalmahayni5869 hey! Nope. But I have a good looking beard and got married. No pain or cracking for a long time at least, but my front teeth still can't touch. I've gotten used to it I guess. Life got a lot better in my late 20s though.
@@flik221 I probably have exactly the the same issue as you. Only my molars can touch, everything else can't. I can chew everything pretty much perfectly, but I can't bite anything to save my life lol. I somehow manage to eat apples, burgers, sandwiches and everything that involves biting though, I'm fairly good looking despite this issue and I don't have any pain, so I'm wondering if this gory surgery is worth it at all, because I will be able to survive like this no problem (I've been living like this since about 13 years old, I'm 22 now), but the idea of having normal jaw and teeth and looking even better is really tempting though, even after seeing how bloody this surgery is.
@Peanutblood my teeth dont line up..one jaw is bigger than the other and sugery is a LAST resort. I'm getting my braces off in a month or so so i guess I'll find out if I need it..
looks good. Is it really possible to remove that smaller wedge to impact the maxilla accurately? I need a wedge like that only added in to lengthen the maxilla vertically since my last surgery impacted it and it was short anyway and now gives me a deep bite and no tooth show.
Hello, I know this must have been quite a long time ago. But Have you done the second surgery to lengthen the maxilla vertically? If yes how did it go? because I have exactly the same issue and will probably need a second surgery. Did you have to use implants as a wedge or what exactly?
Holy shit! my dentist says that i need this surgery in about 1 year :O But here in Denmark is it free to get health surgerys, so the state pay the bill :P
@@janexian9232 My jaw was messed up (a combination of underbite & crossbite) and they had to wait for my bones to stop changing (I was still a child at the time they put on the braces) to have the surgeries. I am now without braces although my teeth still need work. I ended up having them on for 7 years total and I still wear a retainer at night.
@@RawrCrazyTsuki I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been wearing braces for almost three years now and literally can’t wait to take them off. Three years already feels like eternity to me.

@Hew Jarsols its not that risky, its a pretty smooth surgery
@@707vv no jaw surgeries are the most invasive
I need it soo bad bro but I don't have money at all I'm begging to get it
@@lintaghafoor4340me too dude good luck, im trying to convince my parents to let me do it
@@lintaghafoor4340 you need insurance most people don’t pay it out of pocket
That's my jaw. Exactly. Thats my type of jaw. It so awful and it's getting me ugly because of my jaw. Im suffering.

Been there, done that.
What about those newly formed sharp edges of jaw bone?
The gap fills with new bone, amd edge becomes smoothier
it's over

@mewmewisabella braces for 4 years doesnt quite work in someone with a very sever underbite. Sometimes surgery is necessary
@anthonylowtheris Really appreciate comments like these!! Thanks man. having my surgery in about 12 months
im having this exact procedure
What do they do with the extra bit of cheese shaped bone
I have needed this surgery since I was 16 (Im 25 now) Jaw aches and pains all the time, I can't bite anything, and I have no insurance. Life sucks.
Did you get it after 7 years?

IM WOLVERINE

Great, I think I need this.
Still need that?
sometimes braces don't work aka. like me i need to have both jaws sawed and then realigned.

mari695p how are you know ?
Well I'm wearing braces for 5 years now and I will still need a surgery.
When life gives you lemons...
For five years?! WHY

@@janexian9232 It's definitely a long road and especially at a young age it feels like forever. But it's worth it, I promise you!
HELP!!! why would people have to do this! I can not even look at it!
If you are here its ovER
Does insurance cover this?
Depends on the country you’re getting it in
@mewmewisabella I had this and Im fine. Im glad that I had it!
U still alive?
Including the genoplasty
Must have watched this vid about 10 times
@Peanutblood omfgg
May 2,2012
i wonder what u did
@mewmewisabella you'll never have the same result with just braces. Not in a million years. Get the surgery if you need it.
This is going to cost me 30grand. 25grand for the procedure and 5 more for gum cutting and vineers
No way!...
😭I have to have this surgery after my braces
OMG WTF.
I'd rather have braces for like 4 years than have people cut my effing face up!!
