My fwhr is slightly unideal (too long), but I also have a slight overjet causing me to have a recessed chin. If I get braces it will probably (mostly) fix my recessed chin, but I’m scared it will make my chin look longer from the front profile, bc fixing the teeth alignment and overjet means my lower jaw will move down. Idk if I worded it correctly but ye my question is should I get braces or not?

Why would braces fix your recessed chin?

They are 2 different things nigga overbite and overjet both exist jfl
An overbite can also mean that your teeth are just tilted so correcting that won’t fix a recessed chin lol chilll

Yeah it will, if the bone is not recessed the correct teeth alignment will fix the recession

If you have a recessed chin and an overbite, because your teeth are tilted, but you don’t have an overjet, it means that the bone IS recessed and it won’t be fixed with correct teeth alignment.

If you are still in puberty it's fixable
 
What? Correcting and overjet with braces can only be done in puberty I think but idk what you’re talking abt that doesn’t have anything to do with puberty
The recessed chin if you have overbite with appliances
 
I rly understand what u mean I been concerned about that
I got braces anyway because my teeth are cooked
its been a week
 
If you have an overjet your lower jaw is too far back, correcting that with braces can (partially) fix a recessed chin
regular braces? I'm not really smart about this whole looksmaxxing stuff yet but I've heard fearmongering about it pulling ur face back or giving the illusion it is. Thats why im scared about them considering my overjet. I have a minor overjet and a crossbite so I assume the best thing to do would be expansion and move the upperjaw foward.
