i wish people would stop posting front on shots of models

it is generally much more telling as to what part of the structure is causing what to post profile and 3/4 shots

If i had to guess, probably some kind of lefort, and a chin wing or otherwise something that will advance both the midface and the mandible. I.e the holy grail. good luck.

Jaw surgery is not like getting a new haircut.

it would look HORRIBLE with someone who doesn't have all the other s**t this guy's got going on.

^ thanks for your perspectives!

Ive been reading that orthodontics can essentially pull the jaw up and forward, which gives more projection in a balanced way to the mid face and orbital rims, aswell as the maxilliomandibular junction. 

Anybody have any experience or information about this as a possible treatment for adults?

Where did you read this?  This is probably possible in children.

^ Ive consulted with some orthodontists who are craniomaxilliofacial specialists who claim its possible.

I'm not an expert but from what I've read in papers functional orthodontics and such only works when you're developing.

The consensus among the ortho community is that once the growth suture in the palate is "fused" then growth is not possible without surgery.

HOWEVER

Practitioners have experimented with this theory, and found it to be false.  Although slower, the palate can be grown and moved forward well into adulthood.

This is according to the work of Dr. Kent Lauson DDS., MS and his book "straight talk about crooked teeth: The new orthodontics"

Ive spoken to 2 orthos in my area who have confirmed his theories have worked on a number of patients in practice.
