A victim of braces and retraction. What can I do? (Photo)

November 30, 2018
Asked By:Nonamer0017 in Philippines, PH

My 2 lower 1st molars was extracted due to tooth decay then I wore braces. After the treatment, my profile jaw and chin receded or retruded. I feel it got shorter or pushed far back. What can I do? Can this be solved non surgically? Thank You

I got spacers on my top back teeth but not my bottom. Does that mean I’m only getting braces on my top teeth?
