What happens if I do not have corrective jaw surgery?

Answer by  mem4dr (1378)

It depends on why the jaw surgery is needed. Oftentimes not having the corrective surgery can result in a lot of pain later on since jaw problems can cause a host of other problems including headaches and difficulty chewing. Your doctor should be able to tell you what to expect in your case.
