I'm sorry: Not possible to diagnose your dento-facial relationships without a comprehensive examination. Was jaw surgery recommended before you started Orthodontic Treatment? If so, who made the decision to wait until after completion of Orthodontics to revisit possible need for surgery. Please seek consultation with both an Orthodontic Specialist and an Oral surgeon to review your needs.
