Bimax + Genioplasty

[Mr. Ali]

Hello everyone. 22 male.

I have had facial asymmetry, overbite + crossbite since childhood. Plus recessed maxilla and lower jaw. Unfortunately my family didn't take me to an orthodontist during my childhood/teenage years.

I got an appointment with an orthodontist on Saturday and he told me I need to extract all 4 wisdom teeth and get Damon braces. He said it will improve my issues. But I live in a 3 world country and the medical field is not well developed, and there is a lot "cope" involved, so I wanted to ask for more opinions.

I've been slowly getting into the idea of surgery (bimax + genioplasty), but there are no doctors who can/will perform it here. So I'm thinking about going to turkey for it (live very close).

My question is, what would be better in my situation: First Damon braces, and THEN surgery, or the other way around.

Would be glad if someone with similar issues/experiences who fixed it helps me!

Bro ur probably lucky ur parents didn’t take u to an Orthadontist cause they probably woulda extract 4 premolars

What about now tho? Which option would be more suitable in my case?

People say, I don't NEED surgery, but it will objectively improve my facial aesthetics, so I do want to get it. Also I'm getting older and want to maximize my youth, hence if surgery allows for a faster result, ama get it ASAP.

if you want to get surgery, you need to tell the orthodontist at the beginning. the braces will do different things depending on whether surgery is involved
