Can my recessed jaw and smile be treated with orthodontics? (Photo)

January 6, 2021
Asked By:Mk1717 in Los Angeles, CA

I have a recessed chin, and my bottom jaw wants to be out farther than it can be when I have my teeth all the way together, because my top teeth are in the way. When I just touch my teeth together, my bottom teeth comfortably come to rest a little beyond my top teeth. I want to fix this both because it’s uncomfortable and because I don’t like the way my recessed chin looks. Also, when I smile, my top teeth barely show. Can these issues be fixed with braces or some other treatment?
