Overbite and cross bite
I have a long face and a weak chin. I can't close my lips without effort. I have all the symptoms of a mouth breather. I am about to go through an operation to cure that. So, would I need orthognathic treatment to correct my jaws or will braces be enough? Or do I need both?

hello, it seems you already had multiple visits to doctor and have fare knowledge of what is the problem with you. but with these few lines I can not give you a treatment plan. usually in situations where we recommend orthognathic surgery, it is mostly followed by orthodontic treatment. so all the best.
