What can be done about my very recessed chin? (photos)

May 13, 2016
Asked By:aligatorFTW in Butler, PA

I had braces starting in second grade and had them all the way till I was a sophomore in highschool when they took them off I still have an over bite. I had all my wisdom teeth removed and then two others. I also wore headgear at night for a little while when I was much younger. When I was younger I never had a recessed chin, it wasn't till around 7th or 8th grade that I noticed it, as well as other people. I get made fun of and I just hate going in public because of it. What are my options?
