Have you seen a surgeon about this? Yes, you can have a perfect bite with recessed jaws, in which case both must be advanced.
Currently, i've only seen 2 orthodontists for a free consultation in my area.
Both said I have a deep bite and a unilateral cross bite.
One said that my jaws might be 'slightly' recessed but suggested that it probably wasn't bad enough to warrant surgery.
So my bite isn't very good and I'd need braces to fix it, but I don't think that doing so would actually fix my appearance. (other than make my teeth look better)
Problem is that i'm not 100% sure what I need done in order to make me look 'good'!
I don't know whether I need to see another ortho, or try to get referred to an orthagnathic surgeon, or whether I need to see a plastic surgeon or something?!!
I feel as though my face isn't getting enough support, perhaps due to my teeth and jaws.
Cheek area looks 'heavy' as though I need a facelift. (felt this way since I was about 12 lol)
Not much of a jawline. Chin blends into my neck too much etc.
I wish there were good alternatives to full on jaw surgery. Sometimes I see good improvements in people who have a mixture of other surgeries(chin, veneers,lipo etc), I guess to camouflage the actual issues in a clever way...
