Hello, I am a 23 yr old male who weighs about 145 lbs and had malocclusion growing up. I had a little bit of an overbite growing up but this problem has since been largely resolved with braces. However, I notice from a side profile that my lower jaw is quite receded where my lower jaw is angled downward and my chin is recessed quite a bit from my lips. I was wondering if I could fix this problem with a chin implant or whether I need something wholesale like orthognathic surgery.
I had orthodontic work when I was 11-15 which included a metal device (maybe Herbst appliance) that pulled my jaw forward and moved some teeth around, then I had braces to straighten them. I still have quite a large overbite, but it doesn't affect my teeth or jaw my only issue is aesthetically I don't like my weak chin. Would I be eligible for a chin implant considering my overbite? Or would my better option be jaw surgery?
I have an overbite (and maybe an overjet) which may be contributing to an upper lip protrusion. I also have very prominent nasolabial folds and a midface volume deficiency (maybe caused by significant weight loss, but it's been over a year). I'm concerned about the long term impact/longevity of an implant but the cost and complexity of a Genioplasty also worries me. Would either of these procedures improve the appearance of my jaw? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I want a super defined jawline. I have missing bottom teeth however was told my overbite wasn't quite bad enough for Orthognathic surgery. Plus that surgery is too invasive for my liking. I have already had about 5ml of chin/ jawline filler over the past 2 years as well as chin lipo. Yes theyve helped but have not gotten me to where i desire. I'm considering a chin implant but have a feeling even that would not be enough. Attached is my jawline before, my jawline now and my goal.
Hello, my name is Chelsey and im 19. When i was younger i had a bad overbite and made me unable to close my mouth. Now i realized my chin is receded and it is causing me great insecurities. I dont like how my chin looks receded when rested and normal when im smiling. It is as when i close my mouth my chin disappears.
I had mandibular advancement for an overbite 17 months ago. My surgeon has retired. My lower jaw was moved forward 5mm and then my chin was moved forward another 5 mm with a sliding genioplasty. The genioplasty was also jumping meaning my chin was slid on a slight upward incline. However, my chin now looks too large. It is extending horizontally past my lower lip and the chin bone also appears too wide.Also, my lips have thinned a bit. Is a reverse sliding genioplasty the solution?
I have been in braces to fix my overbite for 8 months. I already had a receding chin, but braces have made it worse. Thoughts on jaw surgery or chin implants would be better? Im at a loss.
I think my face is a little too wide, but could it be because of my weak chin? I am considering getting a chin implant soon, and I want to make the shape of it sharper, as i feel like the sharpness will make my round face a little elongated. My face looks round when I smile, but its not that round when its relaxed. Could this also be a result of my overbite? (my overbite is not severe) Some surgeons rejected operating my chin, but my nose surgeon says its necessary
Hi, I had braces when I was in high school to fix an overbite, but unfortunately, my orthodontist told me that it would never be completely corrected unless I underwent jaw surgery. How much of an improvement to my profile/jawline I might see with lower jaw advancement and genioplasty? I am also wondering if lefort 1 would benefit my midface? Is my maxilla recessed at all, since my lower jaw is underdeveloped I am wondering if my upper jaw would also have the same problem.
