Jaw augmentation vs. chin implant?

moonkitty23
I thought an implant would be the best option but after thinking about it I'm not so sure it would fix all of my concerns. I'm mainly getting the surgery because I don't like the way my chin/smile look but another issue I have is that ever since I got braces/the herbst device, my bite doesn't feel natural. My jaw always slides around and doesn't have a specific place it sits, and because of that I get a lot of headaches. I'm worried if I just get an implant this won't be fixed.
