Chin Implant For Class II Mandibular Malocclusion But Very Good Bite?

June 18, 2013
Asked By:beantowngal

I have been told that I have a class II mandibular malocclusion but a very good bite. The maxiolofacial surgeon told me that if I wanted my receding chin fixed I would have to go through to years of braces and painful surgery. He advised against it. I am upset with the way my profile looks, particularly the fact that I can't close my mouth without straining and having my chin dimple. Would a chin implant me close my mouth/ look better?
