What would be the best procedure for my concerns (jaw surgery, teeth extractions)? (Photo)

January 30, 2023
Asked By:Sunnn in Vancouver, BC

Concerns: asymmetry, unflattering jaw area (recessed chin, protruding mouth, gummy smile, lip incomptence), poor side profile, weak jawline, prominent nasolabial folds. I started braces treatment with the intention of removing 4 premolar teeth to correct my protruding mouth. I am worried that removing my teeth may lead to a sunken face. I have gotten mixed advice on what procedures I should undergo. Some say double jaw, only nasolabial implants. Would I be a good candidate for extractions?
