How can I fix this atrocious side profile idk if this is the right place to ask either LOL

[potatomasher]

I’m pretty sure my mandible is slightly set back, which gives my upper lip a fuller look and makes my teeth appear like they’re sticking out too far. Is there any way to fix this without surgery as a 17 year old male?

I’m kind of glad I didn’t use elastics to bring my upper teeth back to match my lower ones, because I feel like that would’ve done more harm than good when I had braces. But I’m also kind of annoyed that I didn’t go to the orthodontist earlier for an appliance or something.

Should I get braces again to fix this they offered to put them back on but said my teeth are fine which is bs? I somehow need advice thanks

why is this such a fucking dnr

u worried about teeth i suppose

cause ur chin is pretty much where it should be

i have this thing but not that bad as you
u have perfect teeth tho, barely any asymmetry
so stop being conscious and live life, side legit clears

That's by no means a bad side profile. You got decent forward growth

dont u think his forward growth is great?
but his chin

is it even that noticable irl?

You have a overbute with a deep bite. This type of malloclusion is fixed by pulling the lower teeth outward via a reverse curve wire in your braces and paired with the elastics. I know this cuz I’m currently in treatment for it. The elastics not only move the top teeth they change your muscle memory for the mandible to be more forward fixing the overbite

Yeah he actually has good forward growth. Chin is also good, maybe a few mm retruded, but OP thinks he needs a officer Nate Higgers Habsburg chin, even though it's not recessed. Also, I think he doesn't understand just how good his maxilla is

Also, really good ramus length

Thank you bro. It’s just that my side profile looks bad compared to my front, and I’m balding, so I’m trying to max everywhere. I’m just self conscious, I guess

Everyone I’ve asked in real life about my chin projection says it’s in line with my lips ik im cooked I asked people irl and that they can’t even notice it.

Your case isn’t bad tho btw you still look good

Bro, you’re actually making me smile behind the screen thank you. I’m really self conscious, so this genuinely makes me feel better about it. I think I just feel like I’m chasing perfection atp.
