Will my jaw and chin change because of the braces and must I wait until I remove the braces to have Rhinoplasty and to see the changes that braces did to the shape of my face?

Answer: Rhinoplasty and dental braces on chin & facial shape The goal of rhinoplasty surgery is to achieve balance with the entire face, including the chin & jaw. When evaluating patients for rhinoplasty, plastic surgeons also evaluate the chin, jawline, cheeks, eyes, forehead, etc. Any dental procedure, including braces, may potentially affect the appearance of the jaw/chin & mid-facial bone. As a consequence, the outcome of rhinoplasty surgery may become more variable. Each dental procedure & rhinoplasty procedure is specific for the individual patient. It's possible that for you, the braces may have no direct affect on the shape of your face. Only after a comprehensive evaluation by a facial plastic surgeon, can you determine the appropriate timing of your rhinoplasty surgery. Best of luck.
