Class 3 deepbite

[teno]

I have a Class III deep bite and have been wearing braces for about 1.5 years to treat it, but I don’t really have any recession. How can you tell if jaw surgery is actually necessary?

You're either recessed or macrognathic, that is how deep bites occur. The former is more likely

If they are not touching, which probably means your jaw is relatively short to your palate. How long have you been getting treatment?
