Question: Been told that i need Corrective jaw surgery ?
Answers:
Hmmm...I recommend getting a second opinion prior to undergoing the surgery. In some cases orthodontics can be used to improve jaw alignment and remediate the "clicking" you are experiencing. Surgery is a major procedure, especially with regards to the TMJ joint, and the potential for side-effects is quite remarkable. Consult your dentist (or another one) about more conservative treatments first- if you are told that surgery is your only option, then you should proceed.
