Hi!
Im a new member and very happy to find this forum! English isn't my first languauge so please have some forgiveness!
I'm very dissappointed with some aspects on my face. I have some overgrowth on my left side and my jaw is deviated which makes my right profile very short vertically while my left profile looks ok. My face and upperlip are assymetrical which makes my front view look weird. I'm also very unhappy with my convex and pointy profile due to my small mandible (?) or perhaps the receeded chin?
Anyway, I've been concerned over these things for a long period of time. 2 years ago I discovered there is something called orthognathic surgery and found out that I might have Class II malocclusion through some own reading.
I went to my dentist and explained everything. The dentist did an examination and then dissmissed my concerns and told me that I was overreacting. She told me that my bite was good and that I wouldn't need any braces or orthognatic surgery.
I haven't done anything since then even though I'm still concerned. I dont think my insurance will cover anything because I dont have any practical problems so I'll propably pay everything out of my own pocket. I've decided to take a few pictures and wonder if I can have some opinions on whether orthognatic surgery could fix these problems or not?
