Is installment payment available for corrective jaw surgery

Yes, the clinic offers installment plans for 24 months with Alatau City Bank or 12 months with Kaspi. The terms of installment payment for the surgical stage are discussed during the consultation: the amount depends on the chosen technique and the extent of the procedure. The exact calculation is provided by the administrator after the treatment plan is drawn up.

By scope of intervention

What types of corrective jaw surgery are there

The division indicates which jaw the procedure is performed on and how such operations differ.

Instruments and materials for this type of treatment, laid out on a light surface — an illustration for the section "Mesial and distal occlusion"

Upper jaw surgery

Maxillary osteotomy: the bone is cut above the tooth roots and the upper jaw is moved as a whole together with the dental arch, then fixed with plates. The lower jaw stays in place. The surgeon considers this scope when, according to the scans, the bite is disrupted due to underdevelopment or overdevelopment of the upper jaw.

Lower jaw surgery

Mandibular osteotomy: its rami are cut and the body of the jaw with the dental arch is shifted forward or backward, after which the fragments are fixed. The upper jaw is not touched. The surgeon considers this scope when the cause of the bite problem is the position of the lower jaw: it protrudes forward or is shifted back.

Double jaw surgery

In a single procedure, both the upper and lower jaws are moved, each to its own calculated position. It differs from surgery on one jaw in scope: the position of both dental arches changes. The surgeon considers it in combined skeletal anomalies, when the discrepancy comes from both sides and cannot be corrected with one jaw alone.

Surgery on part of the jaw

It is not the entire jaw that is moved, but a section of it together with a group of teeth: the bone is cut between the teeth and above their roots, the section is placed in the calculated position and fixed. This is the most limited scope of intervention. The surgeon considers it when the discrepancy affects only part of the dental arch, for example the anterior region.

How corrective jaw surgery is performed: stages

Consultation: doctor and patient at a screen with an X-ray — illustration for the section "Preparing for orthognathic surgery"
Step 01

Consultation and diagnostics

At the initial appointment, the surgeon and orthodontist examine the patient and review cone-beam CT and intraoral scanning data. Based on the results, they draw up a plan: what extent of surgery is required and whether preliminary orthodontic preparation is needed.

Preparation: the assistant lays out sterile instruments, the doctor puts on gloves — illustration for the "Surgical procedure" section
Step 02

Orthodontic preparation

Before the surgical stage, braces or clear aligners are placed to align the dental arches within each jaw. The duration of this stage is individual and depends on the initial position of the teeth. The surgeon and orthodontist coordinate the timing of the surgery.

Step 03

Surgical stage

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. The surgeon performs the osteotomy, positions the fragments in the planned position, and fixes them with titanium plates and screws. The approach is intraoral; sutures are removed at the follow-up appointment.

Step 04

How long does recovery take after jaw surgery

For the first 7–14 days, the patient follows a soft diet and limits physical activity. Swelling and discomfort gradually decrease over 2–4 weeks. Full bone healing takes several months, during which follow-up with the surgeon and orthodontist continues.

End of appointment: the doctor beside the patient goes over aftercare recommendations — illustration for the section "Follow-up after treatment"
Step 05

Final stage and removal of orthodontic appliances

After the bone tissue heals, the orthodontist completes the alignment of the dental arches and removes the braces. Retainers or clear aligners are then made to hold the teeth in position. Follow-up visits are scheduled on an individual basis.

Who is a candidate for jaw surgery with a mesial bite?

A mesial bite is when the lower jaw noticeably protrudes forward relative to the upper jaw. Not everyone with this condition needs surgery. We explain in which cases it is discussed.

When the lower jaw is pushed forward

The forward displacement of the lower jaw can have different origins. Sometimes it is a feature of bone growth: the lower jaw outgrew the upper one, and the size ratio has been this way since childhood. Sometimes it is due to the position of the teeth — they are tilted, but the jaws themselves are proportionate. In the first case, the orthodontist sees a skeletal difference; in the second, only a dental one. These variants cannot be distinguished without imaging, so cone-beam computed tomography and cephalometry are performed before any decision. If the difference is skeletal and pronounced, braces or aligners move the teeth within the jaws but do not change the bones themselves. That is when the question of surgery arises. With a mild skeletal difference or purely dental misalignment, surgery is not needed. Sometimes a patient asks about jaw surgery and the cost — but the cost is discussed only after the type of disorder is determined. The doctor decides based on imaging data, not on appearance.

Signs that prompt a discussion of surgery

  • Marked skeletal discrepancy: imaging shows that the lower jaw is significantly larger than the upper jaw, and this is not compensated by tooth inclination.
  • Posterior bite discrepancy: the teeth do not come together normally, chewing requires effort, and the load is distributed unevenly.
  • Persistent facial asymmetry: the chin is shifted to one side, the smile line is uneven, and this is noticeable at rest, not only when speaking.
  • Difficulty breathing or speaking: a persistently open mouth, lisping, snoring — signs that the orthodontist evaluates together with the surgeon.
  • Failure of orthodontic treatment: if braces or aligners have already been worn but the skeletal relationship remains unchanged, the surgical stage is discussed.
  • Complaints about appearance: the patient themselves says they are unhappy with their profile or chin, and this is a persistent desire rather than a passing mood.

What the doctor determines before the intervention

Before proposing surgery, the doctor gathers the full picture. They review the images, assess jaw growth, the condition of the temporomandibular joints, and the bite in three planes. They check whether skeletal growth has finished: in adolescents, the bones are still changing, and early intervention may yield unpredictable results. They ask about overall health — some conditions make anesthesia and surgery risky. Separately, they discuss whether the person is ready to wear braces before and after surgery: without orthodontic preparation and completion, the result will not hold. Sometimes, after the examination, the doctor suggests trying an orthodontic approach or observation first. Sometimes surgery is the only way to change the skeletal relationship. Sometimes a patient leaves with a question about the cost of surgery for a mesial bite, but the exact figure is given only after a plan is drawn up. The decision is always individual and depends on the clinical picture.

Who is a candidate for surgery with a distal bite

A distal bite is when the upper jaw and upper dental arch protrude forward relative to the lower jaw. Not everyone needs surgery: the decision depends on the clinical picture and age.

When the upper jaw protrudes over the lower jaw

In a distal bite, the upper jaw may be overdeveloped, the lower jaw underdeveloped, or both may be present. If the discrepancy is pronounced, the profile changes noticeably: the chin is shifted back, the upper lip protrudes, and the mouth is often slightly open. Orthodontic treatment moves the teeth but does not change the size and position of the jaws themselves. When the cause is skeletal rather than the inclination of the teeth, braces or aligners straighten the arch, but the profile and jaw relationship remain the same. In that case, surgical correction of the bite is discussed: its cost depends on the extent of the intervention and the chosen technique, but the question of whether surgery is necessary is decided by the doctor based on diagnostic findings. In adults with completed bone growth, skeletal correction is possible only surgically. In children and adolescents, some cases can be resolved with orthodontics while the jaws are still growing.

Cases where orthodontic treatment alone is not enough

  • Marked underdevelopment of the lower jaw: the chin is shifted backward, the profile is convex, and this cannot be corrected by moving teeth — surgery is needed.
  • Skeletal form after completed growth: in adults the jaw bones no longer grow, so braces align the teeth but not the relationship of the jaws.
  • Bite discrepancy with breathing and chewing problems: when the teeth do not come together, the load is distributed unevenly, and the mouth is often open.
  • Combination with open or deep bite: such forms often have a skeletal basis, and orthodontics alone gives a limited result.
  • Unsuccessful orthodontic treatment experience: if after braces the profile and bite remain unchanged, surgical correction of the bite is discussed, and its extent is determined by the clinical picture.

Who is a candidate for surgery for a deep bite?

A deep bite is not only about aesthetics. When the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much, the gums and the joint suffer, and the teeth wear down. Not everyone needs surgery, but those for whom conservative treatment does not produce results do.

When the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much

Normally, the upper incisors overlap the lower incisors by about one third of the crown height. In a deep bite, this overlap is greater. Sometimes the upper teeth completely cover the lower teeth. The lower jaw is often shifted back, the chin is receding, and the nasolabial folds are pronounced. A person may not notice the problem for years until the teeth begin to wear down or the joint starts to hurt. Braces or aligners help if the cause is only the position of the teeth. But if the depth of the overlap is related to the size and position of the jaws, braces alone cannot change the situation. In that case, surgery is considered. The doctor assesses how far the lower jaw lags in growth, how the condyles are positioned, and whether there is crowding. Sometimes a patient comes in with a complaint about tooth wear, and the images show a pronounced deformity. In such cases, the orthodontist and the surgeon work together. In a deep bite, a distal position of the lower jaw is more common than a mesial one. The surgeon advances the jaw forward, and the orthodontist aligns the teeth before and after. Indications are determined by images and models, not by appearance.

Complaints with which such patients present

  • Tooth wear: the enamel on the lower incisors and the inner side of the upper teeth wears down faster, chips appear, the teeth become shorter, and the shape of the smile changes.
  • Joint pain: clicking, crepitus, pain when chewing and opening the mouth — the joint heads are shifted backward and overloaded, and over time this can lead to arthrosis.
  • Gum trauma: the upper teeth catch on the gum of the lower jaw, it becomes inflamed, bleeds, the necks of the teeth become exposed, and periodontitis develops.
  • Difficulty chewing: food is poorly chewed, the person tires more quickly while eating, chooses soft foods, avoids hard foods, and digestion suffers.
  • Aesthetic discomfort: the lower third of the face is shortened, the chin is receding, the corners of the mouth are downturned, the smile looks tense, and this interferes with communication.

What is clarified during diagnostics

Diagnostics for a deep bite includes several stages. First, the doctor examines the oral cavity, assesses the degree of overlap, the condition of the gums, and tooth wear. Then cone-beam computed tomography is performed: it shows the position of the jaws, the condyles, and bone thickness. An intraoral scanner takes precise digital impressions — models are built from them and tooth movement is planned. Sometimes cephalometric radiography is needed to measure angles and jaw relationships. The doctor clarifies whether the lower jaw is still growing, how long ago the bite formed, and whether there have been injuries or surgeries. It is necessary to understand whether the deformity is related to the teeth or to the bones. If the cause is skeletal, orthodontics alone will not be enough. The condition of the temporomandibular joint is also checked: pain, clicking, limited mouth opening. The extent of surgery depends on this. The patient is asked about complaints and about what has already been tried. Based on all the data, the surgeon and orthodontist draw up a plan. In some cases, observation is sufficient if the bite is not progressing and does not cause concern. The decision is made collectively, taking into account age and general health.

Who is a candidate for surgery for a crossbite?

A crossbite is an asymmetrical closure: one side overlaps the other, and the chin shifts to the side. Surgery is discussed when the cause is in the bones, not only in the teeth.

When the dental arches close asymmetrically

Normally, the upper posterior teeth overlap the lower ones on the outside, and the chin is centered on the midline of the face. In a crossbite, this rule is disrupted: on one side, the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, while on the other, the lower teeth protrude outward. The person unconsciously shifts the lower jaw to the side so that the teeth can at least come together. This is noticeable externally: the chin deviates to one side, one half of the face appears wider, and the smile line becomes skewed. Chewing on one side is more comfortable, while on the other it is uncomfortable. Over time, individual teeth wear down, the joint clicks, and by evening, pain appears in the temple area. In children, this type of bite is often related to jaw growth and oral habits, while in adults, it is associated with untreated childhood conditions or trauma. Orthognathic surgery for a mesial bite addresses a different type of displacement, but the assessment principle is similar: first, determine exactly where the cause of the asymmetry lies.

Situations in which surgery is considered

  • Skeletal asymmetry of the jaws: one half of the lower jaw is longer than the other, and braces cannot correct this discrepancy because teeth move but bone does not.
  • Chin deviation to one side: if the facial midline does not coincide with the center of the dental arch and the difference is visible in photographs, the orthodontist may refer the patient for a surgical consultation.
  • Unilateral bite discrepancy: when the posterior teeth consistently meet in a reverse relationship, not only during chewing, and correction with plates or braces has not produced results.
  • Temporomandibular joint problems: clicking, pain when opening the mouth, asymmetric jaw movement — reasons to evaluate the position of the condyles and the bone geometry.
  • Combination with a deep bite: surgery may be discussed together with a crossbite if the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much and this is related to jaw position.
  • Completed growth: in adults the skeleton is fully formed, so orthodontic treatment without surgery is often limited; the decision is made by the doctor after diagnostics.

How asymmetry and its causes are assessed

The assessment begins with an examination and conversation: when the displacement was first noticed, whether the joint hurts, how chewing feels, and whether there have been any injuries or surgeries. Next, impressions are taken or the jaws are scanned, and imaging is performed—a panoramic X-ray and cone-beam computed tomography. Tomography shows bone thickness, the position of the condyles, and the condition of the roots and tooth germs. An intraoral scanner provides a digital model that makes it easy to measure asymmetry and plan tooth movement. The doctor compares the data: whether the cause lies in the teeth, the bone, or the joint. If the bone component predominates, surgery is discussed; if it is dental, orthodontics is attempted. Sometimes both are needed: first the teeth are aligned, then the jaw position is changed. It depends on the clinical picture and age. In growing children, appliances and monitoring are sometimes sufficient, while in adults this approach is limited. The final decision is made by the doctor after a full diagnostic workup, not based on a single X-ray or appearance.

How does surgical bite correction differ from braces and aligners?

The difference is not that one treatment is better and the other worse. The methods work on different structures. Sometimes they are combined into a single plan.

What braces and aligners change versus what surgery changes

Braces and aligners move teeth within the bone. They tilt the crowns, rotate them around their axis, and close gaps. This requires space in the dental arch. If there is not enough space, it is created by extracting certain teeth or expanding the arch. The jaw itself remains in its original position. Surgery changes the position of the jaws. The upper or lower bone is moved forward, backward, or sideways, and sometimes rotated. This is the skeletal level, not the dental level. Therefore, surgery corrects a distal bite in cases where growth is complete and orthodontics has reached the limit of its capabilities. The surgeon places the jaw in a new position and fixes it with titanium plates. The teeth then come together differently. But they will not become straight on their own—they are still aligned with braces or aligners before and after the procedure. The doctor decides, and only after a CT scan.

Why the methods are often combined

Orthodontic treatment prepares the teeth for surgery. A few months before the procedure, braces align the arches so that after the jaws are moved, the teeth will come together in proper contact. The surgeon moves the bone, and the orthodontist completes the work. Without preparation, the bite result would be unpredictable. After surgery, wearing braces or aligners continues: residual gaps need to be closed and the teeth brought into their final position. Sometimes the sequence is reversed—surgery first, then alignment. It depends on the clinical picture. There are also cases where surgery is not required at all: if the deformity is within the capabilities of orthodontics, it can be managed without it. The doctor decides during the consultation. Cone-beam CT and an intraoral scanner provide accurate data for this decision. A joint plan by the orthodontist and surgeon is standard practice, not the exception.

What equipment is used in bite correction surgery

Jaw surgery relies on diagnostics and a precise plan. Without imaging and models, the surgeon does not begin. Below are the instruments and techniques used at different stages.

Diagnostic equipment before the intervention

  • Cone beam computed tomography: provides a three-dimensional image of the skull bones; it is used to assess the position of the jaws, tooth roots, and the mandibular canal, and to plan the cuts.
  • Intraoral scanner: takes a digital impression of the dental arches without a tray or plaster; the data is sent to software to build a model of the bite.
  • Cephalometric radiograph: a lateral X-ray of the head in a strict projection; it is used to measure the angles of the jaws and teeth and compare them with the norm.
  • Photo protocol: a series of photographs of the face front and in profile, the smile, and lip position; needed to compare the bone base with the soft tissues.
  • Plaster or printed models: copies of the dental arches; the orthodontist and surgeon manually check the bite on them and try on the future jaw position.

Operating room equipment

The operating room maintains sterility and monitoring. Class B autoclaves sterilize instruments under steam pressure, including hollow handpieces. A microscope with 25× magnification is used in maxillofacial surgery when small vessels and nerves in the cut area need to be seen. A laser is used to cut soft tissue and stop capillary bleeding. A physiodispenser stands apart — a motor with attachments for bone cuts; its speed and coolant flow are adjusted to bone density. Titanium plates and screws for fixing fragments are kept nearby. A monitor tracks blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation. All of this together allows the surgeon to work precisely and notice the body's response in time. Which equipment is needed is decided by the doctor based on the clinical picture.

Techniques that help plan the course of surgery

Planning takes place in a digital environment. CT and scanner data are loaded into software where a three-dimensional model of the skull is built. On it, the jaws are moved virtually, and it is checked how the teeth will meet and whether the bone will compress a nerve. From this model, cutting guides and intermediate splints are printed on a 3D printer. The guide is placed on the bone during surgery — it sets the cut line and the rotation angle of the fragment. Splints hold the jaws in the new position while the plates are placed. There are also navigation stations: they track the instrument in real time and show it on screen relative to the anatomy. The accuracy of such preparation depends on the quality of the images and the team's experience. Sometimes classic models and calculations on a cephalometric radiograph are enough. The plan takes into account the bone, the soft tissues, and the future position of the teeth.

What to remember

Indications are determined by diagnostics

The decision to operate is not made from a photograph or the appearance of the profile. Imaging, measurements, impressions, or digital models are needed. Cone beam CT shows the position of roots, joints, and canals, while the 3Shape intraoral scanner provides an accurate digital model of the dental arches. The orthodontist and surgeon review this data together. Sometimes the bite can be changed with braces alone, and then surgery is not needed. Sometimes it is the opposite: the teeth are straight, but the jaw discrepancy is so pronounced that orthodontics cannot close it. The boundaries are fluid, and the doctor decides based on the clinical picture. Age, the condition of the gums, joints, and nasal breathing are also part of the assessment. Sometimes preparation is needed before the intervention: dental clearance, gum treatment, removal of certain teeth. Diagnostics is not a formality, but the stage where it becomes clear whether there are any indications at all and what scope of work lies ahead.

Surgery and orthodontics complement each other

Surgery by itself does not straighten teeth. It changes the position of the jaws, and afterward the dental arches need to be brought into the correct bite. That is why braces or aligners are worn before and after the intervention. Before surgery, the teeth are aligned within each jaw so that the surgeon works with predictable arches. Afterward, gaps are closed and the bite is brought to the required contact. The periods between stages depend on the clinical picture, and no one will name them in advance. Sometimes orthodontic treatment runs in parallel with preparation for surgery, sometimes it starts earlier. The patient wears aligners or braces for months, comes in for activations, and discipline matters here no less than the surgeon's work. Missed visits and aligners removed on one's own shift the entire plan. Surgery and orthodontics are not competing methods, but parts of a single scheme where each stage relies on the previous one.

Rehabilitation requires time and discipline

After surgery, the jaw does not heal in a week. Swelling persists for the first few days, and there are restrictions on food and activity. Soft food, careful hygiene, and prescribed medications are part of the treatment, not just suggestions. Restrictions on sports and physical activity also have to be followed. Recovery time depends on the extent of the procedure and on how the body responds to it. Some people return to their normal routine sooner, others later, and comparing yourself to others is pointless here. Follow-up visits show how the bone is healing and how the soft tissues are responding. Smoking and certain habits slow down healing, and this is honestly discussed before surgery. Nutrition is a separate matter: your diet must remain complete, otherwise recovery is harder. Rehabilitation is the patient's job, and it cannot be shifted onto the doctor. A missed appointment or a self-removed orthodontic appliance sets the entire plan back.

Questions about corrective jaw surgery

The cost of surgery to correct the bite depends on the extent of the intervention on one or both jaws, the type of anesthesia, the number of follow-up days, and the orthodontic preparation before and after. Diagnostics are calculated separately: tomography, models, and the orthodontist's work with braces. The final amount is given by the doctor at the examination after the scans, and you can find approximate figures in the pricing section of the page. An installment plan is available for 24 months with Alatau City Bank or 12 months with Kaspi.

Yes, surgery corrects a mesial bite when the lower jaw protrudes noticeably forward and braces alone cannot handle it. The surgeon moves the jaw into the correct position, and the orthodontist aligns the teeth before and after surgery, so treatment is always carried out by the two together. Surgery also corrects a crossbite if the cause is a mismatch in jaw size rather than just the tilt of the teeth. The exact plan is built using tomography: a cone-beam CT scanner provides a three-dimensional picture of the bones and joints.

Orthognathic surgery corrects a distal bite in cases where the upper jaw protrudes strongly or the lower jaw lags in development and braces cannot change the position of the bones. Usually braces are worn first for several months, then the surgeon moves the jaw, and afterward the result is secured with orthodontics. Surgery also treats a deep bite if it is caused by a skeletal reason rather than just tooth wear. The decision is made based on scans and impressions, not on the appearance of the smile.

Yes, surgical bite correction in adults is performed the same way as in teenagers, only after the bones have fully formed, that is, after age 18. Age is not an obstacle: the jaw bones retain the ability to fuse, and the orthodontist prepares the teeth for their new position in advance. Adults are more often offered a combined plan — braces plus surgery — because braces alone cannot eliminate a skeletal discrepancy. Before the intervention, health contraindications are ruled out and tomography is reviewed.

Maxillofacial surgery corrects the bite through osteotomy: the surgeon gains access to the bone, moves the jaw into the calculated position, and fixes it with titanium plates. The operation is performed under anesthesia in a hospital setting; afterward a soft diet is followed for several weeks, and the swelling subsides gradually. At our clinic, diagnostics use a cone-beam CT scanner and a 3Shape intraoral scanner, and the work is carried out by a surgeon and an orthodontist together. Recovery time depends on the extent of the intervention.

Yes, in many cases an incorrect bite does not require surgery: it is corrected with braces or aligners, and surgery is needed only for pronounced skeletal disorders. The decision is made after an examination and scans — a cone-beam CT scanner shows the relationship of the jaws, and the doctor can see whether orthodontic treatment is sufficient. If the case is borderline, braces preparation is carried out first, and the question of surgery is decided along the way. You can book an initial examination and treatment plan by phone at +7 747 093 89 86.

You can book a consultation for bite correction surgery by phone at +7 747 093 89 86 or at an appointment with the orthodontist: the clinic is open daily from 9:00 to 20:00, and parking is free. At the consultation, the maxillofacial surgeon discusses bite correction together with the orthodontist, because surgery almost always goes hand in hand with braces. The initial examination and treatment plan cost 0 ₸, and you only need to bring your ID and, if available, previous scans. After that, tomography and the date of the intervention are scheduled.

Our clinic offers a warranty of up to 5 years for bite correction surgery — it covers the surgeon's work and jaw fixation. To keep the warranty valid, you must attend follow-up check-ups and follow the orthodontist's recommendations: wear braces or retainers for as long as prescribed. If discomfort in the joint or displacement occurs after surgery, report it to the doctor immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled visit. The terms are specified in the contract before treatment begins.

The first two weeks after jaw surgery are the most sensitive: swelling persists, there are restrictions on eating and speaking, and a soft diet and gentle regimen are prescribed. By the end of the first month, most people return to work, and the bone fully heals over several months, during which the surgeon monitors the progress. Orthodontic treatment continues after surgery to secure the new position of the teeth. Timelines are always individual and depend on the extent of the intervention.

There is no pain during surgery: it is performed under general anesthesia, and after waking up, painkillers are prescribed that relieve most of the discomfort. In the first days, swelling and stiffness are felt, and by the end of the week they noticeably decrease, so many manage with over-the-counter medications. If pain intensifies or lasts longer than expected, report it to the doctor — it is a reason for an examination, not for endurance. The pain management plan is outlined in advance during the consultation.

The bite has settled, chewing has become more comfortable, so far no complaints, and the bite was being corrected, the teeth were moved gradually, I wore it without taking it off. In short: good. I didn't expect it to be completely painless. I also signed up my family here. They messaged me the next day to ask how I was feeling — that never happened anywhere before. The retainer was placed right after removal, they explained why it's needed — and that was exactly what I was afraid of —.

My bite had been shifting my lower jaw to one side for a long time. Now my teeth are straight, and I smile without the habit of covering my mouth. Aigerim laid out the plan in detail. We chose clear aligners so they wouldn't be noticeable at work — that's a whole other story —.

We chose the clinic based on reviews and went with clear aligners so they wouldn't be noticeable at work. My bite has closed, chewing has become more comfortable, and so far no complaints. I even feel awkward that I put it off for so long. I've signed up my family here too.

They corrected my bite, moving my teeth gradually, just like this. They saw me right on time, no waiting at all, which I had never experienced before. My previous experience was worse, so I have something to compare it to.

I chose aligners so they wouldn't be noticeable at work. The result matched what was shown in the treatment plan. No stress (I couldn't believe it myself). I'm one of those people who asks again three times — they were patient...

I kept putting it off because of work, there was never time, and that's actually what won me over (I couldn't believe it myself). I got braces on both arches. I'll say this: the scary part only lasted until I sat in the chair.
