Do some types of malocclusions (crooked bites) require surgery?

A. Lower jaws that are way too long can only be corrected (reduced) by means of surgery. But most undersized lower jaws that used to be enlarged or lenghtened by surgical advancement procedures can now be corrected by properly employed Functional Appliances. Surgery is almost never used for these types of retruded lower jaw type problems anymore, or at least shouldn’t be!
