How to bring my jaw forward in a non-surgical manner? (photos)

Question

So i got my braces about two and half years ago. Since then i realised changes to my facial structure. The lower jaw fell back as a result,my chin has recessed ,my face elongated.I extracted 4 of my teeth. I did not start with an overbite. Can anything be done for my jaw to move forward in a non-surgical manner ? Or will my jaw be back into its place if i take off the braces?I am 16.

It's so sad that many practitioners still extract teeth nowadays. It's a method that simply looks at aligning teeth only, and not the facial appearance, or the health and function of the jaw. This is the result of what happens - the jaw and the face become retruded, not to mention possible TMJ problems as well. The good news is  you can bring your jaw forward without surgery. See someone in your area that has knowledge regarding this procedure.
