A member asked:

Please explain if it is worth it to get jaw alignment surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More than likely: It really depends on how severe your misalignment is and what type of problems it is causing you with your chewing and appearance. Best advice would come from and orthodontist and oral ; maxillofacial surgeon.
