How frequently is jaw surgery required to fix bite issues? And if chewing and biting food are painless and not too cumbersome, how likely is the situation to devolve over time to the place that surgery becomes necessary?

jaw surgery is needed if the malocclusion is due to skeletal issue. meaning braces alone would not be enough to fix the bite.
