Receding Chin 19 Year Old Male?

john1993
my chin is slightly receding.i dont have an overbite but if i pull back my lower jaw the upper row of teeth covers 25% of the lower teeth in the front.i have a small nose.should i get a chin implant which might have complications or use orthodontics to correct the bite.my lower and upper teeth are sloped forward.so if i correct the angle of my teeth, and since my nose is small shouldnt orthodontics be enough?
