Question about sliding genioplasty: should I wait until teeth are aligned to fix my weak chin?

April 28, 2018
Asked By:Khanbayarea in Beverly Hills, CA

Hello, I have a weak chin that I really don’t like it, and I am currently having orthodontist treatment to correct my overjet teeth problem, do you think it’s better to wait until all my teeth aligned (9 more months) then do the sliding genoiplasty or there’s no different to do it anytime? I heard people say some how aligning the teeth can correct the asymmetric of the face and Jaw.
