Receding jaw and small face

October 2, 2014
Asked By:electrode in Mumbai

Hello, I'm a 20 year old male. I'm currently undergoing orthodontic treatment for correction of a deep bite with the use of dental braces. The first pic has been captured when my upper and lower molars are touching together, while the second pic is when I leave my jaw in an idle position. My question is that what is the cause for my face to appear smaller and what can be done to make it appear more normal/masculine? Also do I have a weak chin and why is the distance between my lower lip and chin so small?
