I have a noticeable overbite which messes up my side profile, is braces alone enough or do I need a functional appliance especially since I am 17 and may still have some growth left?

what changes will this make to my face, will it cause any sort of recession on facial structure, maxilla or midface?
No maxillary recession, instead it will give mandibular projection
