Tl;dr: Should I stay with braces or attempt bimax?
Background:
I am currently like 9 months into braces and soon going to get elastics and tooth implant (born with missing premolar on lower jaw).
But I’m going to have a gap semester for uni and have a couple of months to spare and money to afford the surgery.
My ortho claims that I don’t need surgery and that the tooth implant + elastics would be enough for my case (edge to edge).
Now the question:
Now my question is if I should acc consider bimax or not, since i most likely wouldn’t get this much time for recovery for the next 3~4 years. Is it even worth it considering the ortho says my case is completely fixable with just orthodontics?
