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!
