Open Bite, Braces and Recessed Chin

December 6, 2011
Asked By:20swoman in Montreal, QC

I was diagnosed with an open bite and have some crowding. I'm 21 years old and have a recessed chin and a somewhat long face. Can the open bite and recessed chin be corrected with only braces+extractions at my age? This young girl had a more severe open bite but her bite and profile was corrected with braces and extractions.
