Is my weak chin the result of a possible overbite? (Photos)

Question

So I have a visibly weak chin from the side and even the front of my face, and I'm curious - is this something which can be fixed with braces or invisalign or something, or is it just a normal weak chin and not the result of a mandibular deficiency or something? I currently just turned 18.

Thanks for including several photos with your question and doing your research. Your chin position is due to mandibular deficiency (i.e. small lower jaw). Orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign can improve your occlusion (bite) but it will not make your chin or jaw larger. If you are concerned about your profile, you can consider a genioplasty, a surgical procedure to move the chin forward. It is less invasive than jaw surgery and is best done by a board-certified oral surgeon. Good luck!
