Title: Had bicuspid extracted & braces at 14, chin now recessed at 19, options?
Post by: awshuckmyjawsucks on March 01, 2014, 07:07:12 AM

Hi, I had four bicuspids extracted when I was younger in order to prepare for braces. Now my face still looks terrible, my chin is recessed and its seriously impacting my self-esteem.

I was just wondering what options I have to fix it, considering my bite is now correct despite the fact that my jaw is messed up. Has anyone gone through something similar?

I had the same thing happen to me when I was younger.  I wish I had tackled this when I was in my early twenties and just gotten jaw surgery then.
