Would braces affect a chin implant?

Gassy GMar 4, 2011
I've asked my cosmetic surgeon who does not specialize in the dept of dentistry about the possibility of going for orthodontic after Mentoplasty. The doctor said that it's possible and would not affect the proportion of my profile at all. I'd like to ask if his statement is true? Based on my research, Orthodontic can adjust and fix overbite (my overbite isn't very serious). In this case, would wearing Braces affect the proportion of my profile (which is already corrected with implant)? Thanks.

Thanks for the question. There's no age limit or ideal age for Chin Implant. However, patients must be over 18 years of age.

Viewing the imaging that you sent it appears that the augmentation looks symmetrical for your profile and will give you the proper alignment. Equally and most important is how did it appear to you? This is important to discuss with your surgeon and while we may project a possible size implant...
