Can buck tooth be corrected through surgery?

My parents could afford braces when I was young, but thought that it is just a waste of money. I%26#039;m 25 now and want to correct my teeth and overbite. I don%26#039;t want to wear braces. Is it possible to correct them through surgery? Money isn%26#039;t a problem for me and I don%26#039;t mind spending any amount to correct my teeth.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but invisalign is always an option. It%26#039;s invisible, hence the name. They straighten your teeth and adjust your bite. I%26#039;m sure it%26#039;s a better alternative to surgery. Call an orthodontist to discuss options.
Reply:There are the invisilign braces out there. They are clear plastic so nobody knows that you are wearing them. Consider that.
Reply:The only surgery that I know of is to have porcelain veneers put on. And that is painful. It makes your teeth really sensitive for a while. Have you thought about Invisalign? It%26#039;s like braces, but you don%26#039;t have to have them glued to your teeth. They%26#039;re trays that fit over your teeth that you can take out and put in. I would rather do this than have surgery... It looks like a nice option.

Reply:Hi how are you?





For optimal results I%26#039;m afraid longish term low grade pressure Is needed..ie braces.


This is not as uncomfortable as u think and not at all unattractive.


It%26#039;ll be worth it to achieve the look you desire.


Surgery isn%26#039;t used for malocclusion (ie prominent teeth and misalignment of bite) really.





Your first step is to see an orthodontist and have impressions taken of your teeth.

Reply:Hi, this is a question which i am asked very frequently by people of your age, who missed getting braces done for any reason at a young age.


yes, it is possible in certain cases, provided your teeth are well aligned and not twisted of proclined or inclined. in such case the only movement required is a major movement of the bone and minor movements of teeth may not be required.


However most cases of surgery:(this surgery is known as orthognathic surgery, and i am a specialist in that) also require pre-surgical and post-surgical adjustments by braces.


YOur dentist or orthodontist will decide whether you need braces or surgery or both or none.
