Would a chin implant or jaw surgery be the better option for me? (photos)

Asked By:stevie196

I had orthodontic work when I was 11-15 which included a metal device (maybe Herbst appliance) that pulled my jaw forward and moved some teeth around, then I had braces to straighten them. I still have quite a large overbite, but it doesn't affect my teeth or jaw my only issue is aesthetically I don't like my weak chin. Would I be eligible for a chin implant considering my overbite? Or would my better option be jaw surgery?
