    Ok I have decided to go and get orthodontist treatment and my orthodontist has told me to get the best result I will need to have surgery to correct my bite,specifically I need to get my upper arch widened.

    I was wondering can anyone here with past experiences of this procedure tell me of their experience or any professionals here know what I should expect

    here are a few questions

    1.How long will I be under general anesthetic?
    2.Will it be sore much after surgery?
    3.How long will I have to wear the upper arch appliance?
    4.what are the risks?

    Hi

    You cannot expect any dentist to answer these questions without examing you. Ask the orthodontist or the oral surgeon invloved, every case and patient are different

    Anyone may be able to tell you their own experiences and while that is all well and good it may not be the same for you.
