Bimax is a overrated and a overhyped surgery for most people

My teeth are too crooked/crowded

I see. I guess I don't know enough about what qualifies someone for 'surgery first'.
In my mind i'm a candidate because I feel like both my jaws need to be moved forward like a cm and then braces to do the rest, but I guess i'm massively over-simplifying it lol. I know the odds are low that I would be a candidate statistically.

From my understanding it's largely about the state of your teeth/how bad your current bite is. Truly bad bites that haven't had any orthodontic treatment, with crooked/crowded teeth aren't a candidate for surgery first.

I wonder why. In my head if you move your jaws forward by the same amount each then your bite is exactly as it was before, then you can get braces to fix your bite! I guess not though. And yeah, from what you say, it's basically a certainty that I wouldn't qualify either.

Tbh Idk though, different surgeons might say different things. Only way to know is by speaking to them and see what they say. This shit is stressful though.
