Is bimax really that overrated?

Obviously not if you have a subhuman over or under bite, but what if you’re just mildly recessed with no forward growth, and plan to have other surgery’s as well? I feel like it’s still addressing a problem that needs to be fixed right?

Not worth it without functional issues.

Not worth it

The forward growth you are missing is missing from the entire face like forehead supras nasal bridge radix cheekbones etc not just the jaws. So if your goal is to do surgery and get a psl approved side profile it won’t happen

Only worth for function or if ur face is deformed / syndromatic n significantly so

Majority of people have a malloclusion otherwise they would have good forward growth

Its overrated because people who either have completely normal positions of the jaw or are recessed by like 3mm think it is some sort of magic HTN button. I've seen people with completely normal orthognathic profiles where their chin aligns perfectly with their nasion think that they will "ascend" via bimax. Basically just people looking at the top 1% of results and assuming it's some ticket into being good looking
