How dangerous is a retrognathism surgery, as in if you do it, will you have complications later on in your life, or not be able to do sports again, ..?

See an oral surgeon.: Retrognathism surgery is a correction of an overbite. If you don't have it done it causes a lot of problems such as snoring , chewing and swallowing problems besides the esthetic effect. See your dentist so you can be referred to an oral surgeon.
