23 Year Old Female,a Step Towards Better Smile
my fifth appointment
I have been on dates too so my social life has not been hampered that bad, except when your date pays more attention to your mouth than you.
My appointment with my orthodontist was good. He gave me steel ligatures on the lower teeth to close any small spaces.
About the surgery , he said he will show my x rays to his surgeon, who would then decide upon the type of surgery I require.
Mostly, its a genioplasty
I trust my ortho and I think he is capable enough and takes his advice seriously. So, let's see what he will offer in the next appointment.

So glad to hear it's been going so well! Can we see new pictures? Very excited to hear what the doctor says about surgery. How long do you have to wait before you find out? When's the next appointment?
Oh!!!! Wow. How much would surgery be? I know here in the US it ranges from the many tens of thousands of dollars up over a hundred thousand!
My fourth appointment
Anyway, he asked me to get a cephalogram X-ray done and bring it in my next appointment so that he can give a clearer view.

In the one profile picture you've uploaded, I see nothing at all wrong with your chin! Does he want to do a genioplasty? You can upload profile pics to us to show us what you're talking about. For a second opinion, you can also post to the doctors but I'm not sure what community to place it in because I'm not sure what you dislike. So if you post a pic and explain, I can give you a link :).
Okay...so then the proper link, if you'd like to ask the doctors, is here: Ask the doctors a question. That's in the chin surgery community.
Are you seeing changes in your crossbite? Or will they save that for the surgery?
