Awkward Smile- Is my Mouth Too Small? Will Corrective Jaw Surgery Fix This?

February 18, 2012
Asked By:sunshine04 in Brampton, ON

I was told to get braces but got bonding instead to fill in spaces. I got them done Oct 5th, 2005 at (I'm now 20). My smile is really awkward, even before I got bonding, so I don't think the bonding is the cause. I can't smile big and when I smile normally, my smile looks forced and my laugh lines get really deep making me look older. I bite sideways, and my chin is really asymmetrical and straight. I have the appearance of a double chin and I feel like my jaw is the problem. What can be done?
