How is it possible that despite the recession my bite still aligns okay.

Serious and no jokes, what would be the best approach for a maxillofacial surgeon to achieve the advancement and how much money would it set me back.

Due to orthodontic compensation, your ortho moved your upper teeth forward and your lower teeth backward, but your actual skeleton is still misaligned

Okay thanks for explaining, so would it be braces before or after the surgery?
