    Hi,
    i was wondering if anyone knows anything about jaw alignment surgery, like do you always have to have braces afterwards (iv had braces before), how long is the recovery and how much generally does it cost?
    I live in Dublin.
    Thanks- i know its abit of a wish list query!

    jaw alignment surgery is a joint procedure between an orthodontist and a max fax surgeon. braces don't always have to be there afterwards, but the surgery is only done once the teeth are aligned so that they'll basically slot together, giving a stable occlusion straight after the surgery.

    best get on to an orthodontist to get it started, as they will be doing most of the work.
