I'm a dentist.\n\nOrthognathic surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (a D.D.S. or D.M.D. with 4 to 6 years of surgery residency), and is rarely performed anywhere except in a hospital or a major surgical center where severe complications can be managed.\n\nThis type of surgery can vary greatly.  There are many techniques and variations, and your oral surgeon will decide what surgery to perform based on your needs and goals.\n\nIt is a major surgery, performed in an OR setting under general anesthesia.  It can take anywhere from 2 hours up to 10 or 12, depending on the speed of the surgeon and the extent of surgery.  Surgeries involving only the lower jaw are often much shorter, and rarely take more than 2 to 4 when peformed by an experienced surgeon.  Surgeries involving both the upper and lower jaws take more time.\n\nBasically, orthognathic surgery involves a controlled breakage of either the mandible, maxilla, or both, and movement of them into the desired position.  I really cannot get more into it, because I'd spend several hours on this post.\n\nAfter the bones are put into their proper positions (verified by a splint made to fit and hold your teeth together), internal fixators are typically used to hold the bones in their new position.  Sometimes you may be "wired shut" (properly known as intermaxillary fixation or maxillomandibular fixation, i.e. MMF), or you may be put in heavy elastics to keep your jaws in their proper positions.\n\nExpect a couple days of hospital stay, especially if the surgery involved the upper jaw (i.e. maxilla), where you will be much more likely to be put in MMF, and thus adequate hydration and nutrient intake becomes a concern.  Swelling in such cases is often severe, and make no mistake about it, you will be very uncomfortable and quite possibly unwilling to properly nourish yourself.\n\nRisks of the procedure include severe bleeding (especially when the maxilla is involved as there are some sizeable arteries around the area to be cut), damage to the mandibular nerve, marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve, damage of teeth, temporomandibular joint problems, infection, infection of hardware, and (drum roll please....) RELAPSE!  Yes!  Things can move back somewhat after the surgery!\n\nThe results are worth it, however, and at times nothing short of remarkable.  Depending on the extent of skeletal changes to be made, your oral surgeon may tell you that it will take some time for you to become accustomed to your new face.

Hello,\n\n     2 years used to be possible in the U.S. or Canada,(graduated certificate), but now most institutions offer that program in collaboration with a M.Sc.D. These programs are excellent and have formed a lot of leaders in orthodontics. In Europe, Norway, Sweden and France are know to have good programs. While Norwegian and Swedish programs extend normally over a period of three years, in France it can be much longer. The cost of living in any of these countries (especially Scandinavia) are high and may not be suitable for you.\n\nA 2-years "good and cheap" orthodontics program is probably not a reality... Before you get involved in any program, check with your national board if you'll be entitle to work as an orthodontist after your education!

You will have to meet the qualifications and fill out the required forms with a University that offers the degree you are interested in.\n\nJust do a google search for "Master's degree plublic health" and I think you can find some answers.

No one will be able to tell you for sure over without seeing you. It sounds like more than likely you will not be a good candidate for this.  This type of of orthodontics is to fix less severe cases of orthodontic issues. The first thing you need to do is go for a consultation with an orthodontist that does Invisaline, they don't all do it, and he will be able to tell you if you are a candidate. Good Luck!!!!

Hello,\n\n    In orthodontics, "Faster and Quicker" solutions are not part of the vocabulary. Your orthodontist will suggest a good solution that will lead to a satisfactory result, no matter the time it takes. Most people are experiencing at least 18-24 months of treatment, but this might vary a lot depending on your age and your condition.\n\n     Surgery is normally a part of some orthodontic treatments, and are rarely done without a proper orthodontic support. But not everybody will need surgery!!! Orthognathic (jaw correction) surgery is normally performed in order to correct severe conditions that orthodontics alone cannot treat. Typically, an individual will have several months of orthodontic treatment before undergoing surgery, and it might continue after that.\n\nIn any case, a surgery is definitely not a shortcut for an orthodontic treatment!

Not being able to eat Swedish Fish. lol\nIt's not painful, more like uncomfortable. Take Advil before you go, if you can take it. \nNo needles, no gas. It's a simple procedure. When you go, the assistant will clean up your teeth, talk to you, place  a rubber damn, and ortho cement, then the orthodontist will  place the brackets and bands if you need them on, then the wires. It takes around an hour. You will go every 6-9 weeks at first, then you have more frequent visits. Depending on your teeth they will stay on from 1-4 years, but it's all good. The end result is well worth it. A beautiful smile is well.... beautiful.\nI hope this is helpful.

If your university happens to have a dental program, I'd make an appointment in their clinic and see how much it would cost there. They are generally MUCH cheaper than a normal dentist. Better yet, if you have a friend in the program, and they need someone to bring to class and practice on, volunteer! It's usually free. And the students are well trained before hand and have a seasoned dentist supervising them, so don't be worried that they'll accidently fix the wrong tooth or anything. And students are often much more attentive than actual dentists, as they're being graded for their work. FYI, the same goes across the board, dental hygenist students, cosmetologist students, all do a better job in school than the liscensed pros do in real life.
