What would you recommend to fix my smile and chin? (photos)

DanielleMBFeb 16, 2014
During consults for rhinoplasty it was suggested I have a jaw implant in addition. I than explained I have an overbite and would fix it. I had braces, an expander, retainer, and headgear for 6 years. I have narrow arches, tmj, and a receded jaw 50% or more overbite. What is the best treatment for this? Jaw surgery and braces?

Thanks for your question and the photos you provided. You can try Botox to assist with the lift of your eyebrows and give them a peaked appearance. Good luck!
