Does anyone know the difference between a neuromuscular dentistry and oral & maxillofacial surgery?

Personally I don’t find my dental bite cosmetically appealing. I’ve had braces before and my teeth are pretty straight, but my bite can use some improvement. It seems like a slight overbite to me. However, I don’t know what specialist I should go to. Would neuromuscular dentistry be the solution to my problem or oral & maxillofacial surgery? If you would like to see pictures, let me know.

yes, you need to go to an orthodontist to correct your bit.

  1. I would go back to the Orthodontist and let them determine if surgery is needed to correct your bite. A neuromuscular dentist will cut your teeth down, and make crowns to correct the bite.. A maxilIofacial surgeon will break your jaw, and wire it to a new position. I would let a good orthodontist conduct that decision..
