Hello everyone! For half a year now I have been obsessing about what I need to do about my looks which I am really not satisfied with. I have been to 9 orthodontists and one max. fac. surgeon. Still i am not quite sure what is the best route to go for me.
My concerns are my convex protruding profile and my lip incompetence. All that is accompanied with a chin deformity in which the chin is very crooked to one side.
I had braces when younger and they made my bite functionally good but didn't fix my aesthetic facial issues.
What I have concluded for now is that I have bimax. protrusion, some vertical maxillary excess and possibly a weak chin. All the orthodontists and the max. fac. surgeon (although he didn't see the x rays as I didn't have them yet) said that they don't recommend double jaw surgery as the improvements would be minor. Some orthodontists think I am a good candidate for teeth extractions while others disagree. I personally think extractions would be beneficial since it would improve the puffiness of my mouth and lip incompetence which really look bad on a western European male.
I still don't know what to do and I am running out of doctors to consult in my region. What I know for sure is that one day I will fix my crooked chin issue as I don't want to hide it my whole life with my patchy beard. However, I feel I should first fix my dental/skeletal jaw issues one way or another.
What do you think is my main issue and what would be the best way to treat it? Do I have any major upper/lower jaw deficiencies and is the relationship of my jaws bad in a skeletal way? Should I go for extractions and braces to fix protrusion or should I insist on some kind of jaw surgery? I will be very grateful to hear as many opinions on this forum as possible.
p.s. My nasolabial angle is too big, but I had a septorhinoplasty for a very crooked nose 2 months ago and the healing is still in process.
Thank you!
