A member asked:
If money is no problem, is there a teeth straightening surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and NO: There are surgical procedures to both accelerate the process as well as correct skeletal jaw malocclusion but this does not usually replace completely the need for other forms of orthodontic treatment such as conventional braces or invisalign types of therapy.
