Yes, jaw surgery can fix an open bite but so can functional appliances and braces to make room for the tongue. Plus, a myotherapist, a specialist who works with the tongue, is required to help retrain your tongue to swallow correctly.
Yes but there are several options to fix an open note without surgery
Yes, jaw surgery can fix an anterior open bite. Sometimes orthodontics cannot close the open bite on its own and a Lefort and BSSO surgery are required to align the teeth along with braces.
