Hello
Most orthodontic treatments have differents time to show results, but every day the changes are noticed, you have to be patient

Dear Noorlight, I really cannot tell much from your photographs. The appearance of your chin will not change with orthodontics. Your photographs do not show the teeth. The tooth positions will change with orthodontics though an underbite is a difficult arrangement to treat. Dr. Neal
