My jaw and chin are uneven. Do I look like an obvious candidate for jaw surgery? (Photo)

Individuals with lower or upper jaws positioned more forward or backward than normal due to genetic characteristics often require orthognathic treatment and jaw surgery. This skeletal disorder is addressed through both orthodontic treatments and surgical procedures. Additionally, jaw surgery is a suitable treatment for those with overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. Patients who have facial asymmetry, suffer from sleep apnea, or desire a stronger jawline are also ideal candidates.
Furthermore, individuals seeking a V-shaped facial structure can benefit from this surgery. The procedure allows for the creation of specific jawline aesthetics, such as the ‘Texas jaw’ or ‘California jaw,’ catering to those who wish to enhance their facial contours in these specific styles. Our treatments ensure that a wide range of jaw-related issues, whether functional or aesthetic, can be effectively addressed through jaw surgery.
You have a convex profile and your lower jaw is receding. This indicates that you may be suffering from sleep apnea or may experience this problem in the future. Based on the photos you provided, the recommended treatment plan (which may vary with further investigations) includes bimaxillary surgery, genioplasty, and post-surgical Invisalign orthodontic treatment.
