Jaw surgery genioplasty or Braces? (photos)

March 9, 2016
Asked By:antikkopma in Turkey, TR

I have little overbite and overjet(and lower jaw recessed) but my lower teeth are protruding. If i move my jaw a little forward i get long face+underbite. And i have so little asymmetry(not sure) at teeth and jaws.. Im just so confused cuz all orthos say different. One say 4premolar extract only other say genioplasti with braces(without extract). I dont want extract my teeth but want to fix my side profile and teeth crowds. Is it possible or can anything fix my little problems(together big) ?
