Hello dear, Did you go through Cephalometric evaluation? That shows the degree of discrepancy of upper and lower jaw.Based on that it will be assessed whether you can be camouflaged or surgery.
In Young patients whose growth phase is still there, MYOFUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE can be used for correcting jaw discrepancy .
If at all you are going for surgery, it will take around 3hours under general anesthesia,upto 3 days of hospital stay.swelling and inability to open mouth for 1st week, then receds.If lower law surgery u may have numbness of lower jaw for 2- 6months..
Cost could be around 1.5 to 3.5 lakhs depending on one jaw or both jaws.
