I'm being urged by my dentist and orthodontist to have jaw surgery so I can fix my bite. I forgot what the jaw surgery is called, like the technical name. Something -otomy. I have a slight open bite and a 4 mm over bite, so my bottom jaw would be cut on both sides and moved forward and upward a tiny bit. What is this procedure called? I think it starts with an L. Or b.
