turned 16 in february. my mandible looks ( and probably IS) too short. I also have an overbite, which has become ever worse due to thumbpulling.
But without a doubt the worst part of all of this is that my growth plates have fused, which also explains why i have been stuck at 5'6 for over a year. the xray of my hand indicates that my bone age is 1.5 years ahead
I was thinking about getting braces with a herbst appliance or something, but maybe it is too late. Also HGH injections probably wont do shit atp according to my doctor.
Is surgery the only way?
